Hussain Haron has been convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend - (Met Police)

A man climbed through his ex-girlfriend’s window in Croydon and stabbed her to death in a “brutal” attack, police have said.

The Met Police were called to an altercation at a home in Grenaby Avenue on June 9, 2023.

Felecia Cadore, 29, was found with stab wounds and was taken to hospital in a critical condition. She died from her injuries five days later.

Hussain Haron, 24, from Mitcham, was found guilty of the murder of Felecia Cadore on Wednesday at Snaresbrook Crown Court, following a six-day trial.

The court heard that Haron had climbed through the window of the address to try and find Ms Cadore.

Following an altercation between the two, Haron grabbed a knife and violently stabbed her.

He was arrested later that afternoon and was found in possession of the knife he used to attack Ms Cadore.

Despite claiming he was acting in self-defence, Haron was found guilty of murder by the jury.

He is due to be sentenced at the same court on Friday.

Detective Chief Inspector Craig Magee, from Specialist Crime, said: "Today, justice has been served following the conviction of Hussain Haron for the murder of Felecia Cadore in June 2023.

“It is an example of the devastating impact violence against women and girls can have.

"The verdict is a result of officers working meticulously and tirelessly to secure evidence.

“It is also testament to the courage of the witnesses who helped establish the facts, and bravely stood in the courtroom to give their evidence.

"It has been 18 months since Felecia was killed. I hope that today's verdict provides her family with some comfort and allows them to begin to process the effect this brutal crime has had.

“We will continue to support the family of Felecia following this horrific attack."
