A 21-year-old man who was stabbed on Friday evening in Haringey, north London, has been named by police as Thomas Oduro, from Tottenham.

The Metropolitan Police said officers went to Lordship Lane just after 6pm on Friday, November 13, following a report of a stabbing.

London Ambulance Service crews attended, but despite their efforts he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Met has opened a murder investigation. His family have been told and are being looked after by specialist officers.

"Thomas's family have suffered a devastating loss. Our thoughts are with them, and they continue to be supported by specialist officers," said Detective Chief Inspector Phil Clarke, who heads the inquiry.

Clarke added that officers were still making enquiries at the scene, and residents would notice a bigger police presence in the coming days.

The police statement did not report any arrest.
