Police have named a 46-year-old man stabbed to death near the Tottenham Hotspur stadium as they appealed for witnesses.
Officers were called at 5.51am on Sunday April 7 to Northumberland Park near the stadium in Haringey, after a man was found unresponsive.
He died at the scene despite officers and London Ambulance Service paramedics trying to save his life.
Formal identification has not taken place but officers believe him to be 46-year-old Okechukwu Iweha who was from the local area.
His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.
A post-mortem examination will be held at Haringey Mortuary later this week.
Detective Chief Inspector Neil John, from the Specialist Crime Command, said: “I am urging anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious to please come forward and speak with us.
“We are working hard to build a timeframe to establish what has happened. Were you woken up by a disturbance, or did you see anyone running from the area? I would ask that you check any private CCTV or dash cam footage to see whether you captured anything that might assist us.
“Another family has been left grieving and we are doing everything we can to find answers to their questions and locate whoever is responsible for this murder.”
No arrests have been made.
Chief Superintendent Caroline Haines, in charge of policing in Haringey, said: "Our thoughts remain with the family who are having to come to terms with his life being taken in such a violent way.
"I would like to reassure the local community that we are working around the clock to assist specialist detectives with their investigation.
"We are grateful to residents for their patience and understanding while we go about this crucial work. The crime scenes and forensic work will have caused disruption but it is imperative that we gather any evidence that might prove vital in leading to an arrest.
"If you have information that could help us, no matter how insignificant it may seem, please tell us. You will see officers on the cordons and on patrol and they will be ready to listen to you."
