"A murder investigation has begun after a man was fatally stabbed in Camden, north London.

Police were called to Camden Gardens at 15:29 BST on Saturday following reports of a stabbing.

A 44-year-old man was treated at the scene by officers and paramedics before being taken to hospital, where he later died.

Police said no arrests had been made, but there was not believed to be any threat to the wider public."


Not much info available yet.

A bit more information here:


"Witnesses told Metro how families ran from the ‘horrific’ scene.

Mark Hanley, a school handyman with a young daughter, told Metro: ‘There were police everywhere, loads of them. There have been problems with the park.

‘It used to be nice for walking the dog, but there are now tents and shelters where homeless people are staying. It’s become a bit of a no-go zone, which is such a shame.

‘The council really need to do something about it. I don’t want my daughter going near it, it’s such a shame. It’s a horrific thing to happen.’"

They still haven't published the victim's name, and they are clearly lacking evidence to bring a charge on the suspect.


'One resident, who did not want to be named, said: “It is incredibly sad and shocking to hear that someone has lost their life in our once beautiful gardens.

“It has made me very angry how the council and other agencies, including so-called homelessness agencies, have let the tent city expand and thrive.

“Fires, piles of litter, rats, drug dealing, drug taking, anti-social behaviour, and damage to plants, trees and shrubs have left neighbours terrified to enter. The police, fire department and council know of the situation but it seems nothing much has been done to aid these vulnerable people. Residents are placed in a frightening and potentially dangerous position.”'

I wonder if they even know the victim's name. There is no mention of any family who have been made aware, etc.

I think they must at least have some idea who he is if they know his age, although if he was one of the unhoused people living in the park, they might be struggling to track down his next of kin, if he even has any
