A suspected killer remains on the loose three days after the fatal stabbing of a 23-year-old man in north London, police have admitted.

Jemal Ebrahim was found heavily wounded in Russell Road, Haringey, on Wednesday evening and later died in hospital.

Four men, all in their 20s, were arrested on Thursday on suspicion of affray and have since been bailed pending enquiries.

But Detective Chief Inspector Simon Stancombe, of the Metropolitan Police, said the person responsible "remains in the community".

He added: “It remains unclear where the attack on the victim took place.

"And, while our investigation is continuing at speed, I am still keen to hear from anyone who has information relating to the murder.

"A life has been taken, a family is devastated, and the dangerous individual responsible remains in the community, getting on with their life."

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101.
