Man to be charged with murder of Cypriot in Wood Green is named

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.
