Finbar Sullivan was pronounced dead at the scene after the stabbing. His father, Christopher Sullivan, a musician and founder of the 1980s band Blue Rondo à la Turk, said his son had gone to the park to use a new camera he had received for his 21st birthday. He described his son as “the most beautiful, lovely, outgoing, loving boy”.

Another man in his 20s was taken to hospital with stab wounds found nearby on Regent's Park Road, but his injuries were not life-threatening.

Detective Inspector Andy Griffin said: “My thoughts remain with Finbar’s family who continue to receive support from specialist officers at this unimaginably difficult time.”
