Police have been criticized after a 21-year-old man was fatally stabbed in north London. Finbar Sullivan was fatally stabbed in Primrose Hill on Tuesday and was pronounced dead at the scene despite the best efforts of paramedics. His father, Christopher Sullivan, said that Finbar wanted to be a cameraman like his grandfather, Michael Seresin, who worked on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Rambo III, and that he went to the park to use the new camera he received for his birthday.
A second man, aged in his 20s, was found with stab wounds nearby in Regent’s Park Road and was taken to hospital.
Detective Inspector Andy Griffin, who is leading the investigation, said yesterday: “Finbar’s family have suffered a devastating loss and our thoughts are with them at this very difficult time. Our investigation is progressing rapidly and we are pursuing several lines of inquiry. “This incident occurred in a busy public park and there may be many witnesses who can help us piece together what happened.
“We are aware of images circulating on social media of the incident and would urge anyone with any information that could support the investigation, including photographs or video, to contact us urgently.”

Mr Levy described the incident as “appalling” and added that he thought “the police have a lot of blame for the increase in street crime”.
“They’re not there and no one sees them,” the resident said. “It’s like kids without teachers. It’s sickening, absolutely sickening.”
Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan is also the city’s police and crime commissioner.
He repeatedly emphasized to our sister site that he was tackling violent crime in London. my london He said he considered it an “infection”.
In January, Sir Sadiq said: “Many people try to convince London, but the evidence tells a very different story. “Last year London had the lowest murder rate per head since records began, the fewest murders among under-25s this century and one of the lowest homicide numbers for almost three decades.
“It’s clear that our continued focus on getting tough on both crime and its complex causes is working. This includes investing in response and prevention work carried out by the Violence Reduction Unit, a first in the UK. We’re also supporting the Met by more than doubling the City Hall’s investment in policing to help increase police numbers and ruthlessly target the worst criminals and criminal gangs.
“But we are not complacent. One death will always be too many. That’s why I will continue to do what I can to invest in policing and provide positive opportunities for young Londoners, so we can build on this important progress and continue to make London safer for everyone.”
