Spate of Violence on Busy London Road
Police and paramedics rushed to the scene at around 6.50pm on January 3rd. Despite their efforts, Mr Boudhane was pronounced dead by 7.42pm. His next of kin have been informed, but formal identification is pending.
Mr Boudhane worked as a courier for Uber Eats and Deliveroo and was with another rider at the time. The second man fled the scene but has since been traced by police. A murder probe led by Detective Chief Inspector Neil John is underway.
Police Chase Van Driver in Murder Hunt
“The investigation is making good progress,” said DCI John. “But we urge everyone with info or who witnessed the fight to come forward. This busy road makes it likely someone saw or even filmed the incident.”
“An altercation broke out between Mr Boudhane on his motorcycle and a white VW Caddy van driver near Lennox Road and Charteris Road. Police found and seized the van in Islington two days after the stabbing for forensic analysis.”
“The van driver is now the target of a police manhunt. We cannot release their identity to protect the investigation. Our current evidence suggests this was a spontaneous traffic row with no other links.”
