Two More Held in Hackney Stabbing Murder Probe
Detectives hunting killers behind a fatal stabbing in Hackney have arrested two more suspects. The victim has now been named as 22-year-old Exauce Ngimbi.
On Friday, 6 December, a 26-year-old and a 23-year-old were detained on suspicion of murder and remain in police custody. They join two others, aged 14 and 26, arrested the previous day, also held on suspicion of murder.
Exauce Ngimbi Dies After Street Fight
Police launched a murder investigation after being called at 2.01pm on Thursday, 5 December, to reports of a stabbing in Clarence Mews, Hackney.
Officers, paramedics, and London’s Air Ambulance found Exauce seriously injured. Despite desperate efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene just 21 minutes later.
His family have been informed and formal ID confirmed. A post-mortem will be arranged soon.
Investigation Moves Fast As Family Mourns
Detective Chief Inspector Paul Considine, leading the inquiry, said: “This investigation is moving at pace, shown by these latest arrests. But we still need the public’s help to understand how Exauce lost his life.”
Exauce’s mother, Théthé Ngimbi, 51, broke down at a vigil organised by relatives at the stabbing scene. She sobbed, “I want to see him, he was a good boy. It’s not fair.”
Tragically, Exauce’s cousin Calvin Bungisa, 22, was also stabbed to death in April after being chased by masked attackers in Kentish Town.
