Man Charged with Murder After Hayes Stabbing
The Metropolitan Police have named the victim of a stabbing in Hayes as they charged 30-year-old Adejuwon Olufemi Alexander Jnr Oyekan with murder. Oyekan appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, where he was remanded in custody. He is due back at the Old Bailey on July 17.
Because of the severity of the charge, the case will automatically be transferred to the crown court.
