A man has been charged with the murder of a pensioner in her Wood Green flat.
Hakim Abdillahi, 31, of Morant Place, is due to appear in custody at Highgate Magistrates’ Court today charged with the murder of the 79-year-old woman on Wednesday afternoon.
The victim was this morning named as Eleftheria Demetriou, also of Morant Place, although formal identification is yet to take place.
Ms Demetriou - who was known as “Auntie” or “Grandma” by her neighbours - died after being stabbed multiple times in the flat which had been her home for decades.
Thousands of people poured into Priory Park on Sunday for the 21st annual Crouch End Fun Run and Festival.
