Two more fatal stabbing arrests

Boduka Louis Mudianga A further two suspects have been arrested over the fatal stabbing of an 18-year-old in north London.

Art and design student Boduka Louis Mudianga was stabbed during an attack in Silver Street on Monday 21 January.

Two men, one aged 17, are being held in police custody. Three others, aged 14, 16 and 20, who were arrested after the attack, have since been bailed.

Another 18-year-old, who was also stabbed, remains in a stable condition in hospital.

Formal identification has yet to be carried out, but a Metropolitan Police spokesperson said they are satisfied the victim is Mr Mudianga, who was known as Louis Boduka and was a student at Southgate College.

Turquoise car

A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as a stab wound to the chest.

Police believe there was "an altercation involving a number of males" before the victims were stabbed in Silver Street or Warwick Road.

Police are keen to trace two youths wearing hooded tops who were seen running into Warwick Road and a turquoise car seen on Sweet Briar Walk following the incident.

Det Con Ins Matthew Horne said: "We are appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time and may have seen the incident, or who has any information, to come forward."

Mr Mudianga was the third teenager to be killed with a knife since the start of 2008.
