Man Dies In London Stabbing

Police have launched a murder investigation following the fatal stabbing of a man in London.

Police were called to the scene at around 2.50am on Saturday to reports of an injured man in Junction Road, Tufnell Park.

The London Ambulance Service attended and found a man suffering a stab wound to the neck.

He was taken to Whittington Hospital where he died at around 4am.

Although formal identification has not taken place, it is believed that the dead man is Elliot Guy, 27.

Two men aged 40 and 30 and a 39-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with the incident.

All three have been bailed to return to a north London police station at the end of July pending further enquiries.

Police are retaining an open mind as to the motive at this stage.

The victim has been described as "one of the nicest boys you could see".

It is reported that he had been attacked at a party in Junction Road during an argument and had staggered on to Dartmouth Park Hill before collapsing outside the Dome Music Hall.

The death follows a recent spate of knife attacks on young people in the capital.
