Man Stabbed to Death by Mentally Ill Stranger in Crystal Palace – UKNIP

A tragic incident unfolded in Crystal Palace last year when Kiiran Hibbert-Gorden, experiencing a psychotic episode, fatally stabbed a homeless man, Ion Radu. The Old Bailey heard that Hibbert-Gorden, who had a history of mental illness, had recently been discharged by psychiatrists despite not taking his prescribed anti-psychotic medication.

The court learned that on the night of June 1, 2023, Hibbert-Gorden encountered Ion Radu at Morley’s Fried Chicken in Crystal Palace. Despite initially seeming helpful, Hibbert-Gorden suddenly attacked Radu, leading to his death.
