Shakiel Thibou, 20, has appeared at the Old Bailey charged with the murder of Cher Maximen, who was fatally stabbed during Notting Hill Carnival. Thibou had initially faced charges of attempted murder, but these were upgraded after Ms Maximen succumbed to her injuries on August 31, which were described as “unsurvivable.
The court heard that Thibou appeared via video link from HMP Belmarsh on Monday, September 9. His brothers, Sheldon Thibou, 24, and Shaeim Thibou, 21, also appeared via video link from HMP Wandsworth, facing lesser charges related to the incident.
The trial is expected to continue as more details emerge about the events leading up to Ms. Maximen’s death.
