Homicide detectives believe he was attacked four miles away in a playing field at Masefield Crescent, close to his family home.
Witnesses said they alerted police after an argument broke out “over money” between a group of young men gathered in the park.
On Tuesday, 2 May, police were called to Barnet Hospital at about 19:30hrs to reports that a man – later identified as Seun – had self-presented at the hospital, suffering stab injuries. Seun was later pronounced dead at around 20:20hrs that evening.
Detectives from the Homicide and Major Crime Command are investigating. Detective Chief Inspector Lee Watling, who is leading the investigation for the Homicide and Major Crime Command, said:
“We are keen to speak to everyone who was there, and would appeal for them to contact us. We would also appeal to anyone who saw what cars were in Cowper Gardens at the time of the incident to also contact us.
“We continue to appeal for any witnesses to the attack, or anyone with any information about it, to contact us.
In a note, Seun’s grandparents said :
“Such a wonderful and caring young man taken away from all of us family and friends. You will always be in our hearts forever, rest in peace.” (LIB)
