Dante Forrest, 36, jailed for life with a minimum of 22 years after grisly murder of 40-year-old Marvin Dickson whose decomposed body was found in a Haringey flat.
Frozen in Time: Shocking Scene Discovered
Police busted open a boarded-up flat on Moselle Avenue, Haringey, after neighbours reported a foul stench on 20 September 2024. Inside, they found Marvin’s decomposed body in the bathtub, dead for around ten days.
No forced entry was found, meaning the killer had access and locked up to hide the crime.
DNA and CCTV Nail Killer
Met Police used Marvin’s blood on a pizza box to catch Forrest. CCTV footage showed Marvin alive with Forrest just days before the murder, even spotted wearing Marvin’s distinctive purple, blue and white trainers after the death — trainers that were never found.
