Three years have passed since 20-year-old DJ Elyon Poku was fatally stabbed in Stamford Hill, but detectives remain committed to identifying those responsible for taking his life.
Elyon, who was from Stamford Hill, was fatally stabbed at a house party on Wilderton Road on Saturday (September 22) in 2018.
On the third anniversary of his death, detectives are renewing appeals for information.
Detective Inspector Martin Head, from the Specialist Crime Command, said: “It is still our belief that there are a number of witnesses who are yet to speak with us. I would strongly urge you to come forward and let us know what you saw or heard.
“Did you capture the attack on your phones? Do you have video or images that could help identify those involved?
“It is also possible that allegiances may have changed over the years. Please think of the suffering that Elyon’s family are still enduring and do the right thing.”
