Three people were arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday following the fatal stabbing of a man in Whetstone last week.

Two men – aged 33 and 25 – and a woman – aged 24 – were arrested. The men remain in custody, the woman has been bailed until mid June.

Police were called by paramedics shortly before 3am on Wednesday 11th May after receiving reports of an injured man in a flat off High Road, N20.

Officers attended with paramedics and found a 30-year-old man with stab wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.

The victim has been identified as Olsi Kuka. The police are in contact with his family and are providing them with support.

A 35-year-old man was initially arrested but was later released with no further action to be taken against him.

The police are asking for anyone with information about the murder to come forward by calling 101 with the reference 655/11MAY or by calling Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
