Murder investigation after north London stabbing

"A man has been stabbed to death in Finsbury Park, north London, prompting a murder investigation.

The victim, a man in his 30s, was found on Charteris Road, close to the junction with Lennox Road, shortly before 19:00 GMT.

The Met Police said he was pronounced dead less an hour later and no arrests had been made.

The victim was a food delivery moped rider, according to friends gathered close to the scene."

"One said the victim was a 30-year-old Algerian known as "Taki", although he was unsure of the English spelling."


"Last year, 90 people were stabbed to death in London, according to police statistics."


I don't think the victim has been confirmed as the above name at the time of creating this, which is why I didn't place it into the title.

Nathan Smith has now been arrested and charged with murder. I know someone who witnessed these two men fighting and called the police from the street. The next day it became apparent that there was a fatality and subsequently they made a statement to the police.
They would like to know how to contact Nathan Smith’s lawyer but have no idea who they are or how to find out. Does anyone know how to find this kind of information?
