"During the trial, the jury was shown Mr Dickson on CCTV in the early hours of 10 September walking with Forrest and carrying a takeaway pizza box. The box was found, covered with Mr Dickson's blood, in the flat. His blood was also discovered on Forrest's clothes and shoes, and the living area of the flat had bloodstains suggesting Mr Dickson had been killed there before being dragged to the bathtub."
"A man who killed an acquaintance and left him in a bath until neighbours complained of the smell has been jailed for life. Marvin Dickson, 40, was found dead at the north London home of his killer, Dante Forrest, in September 2024. Police discovered Mr Dickson after they forced entry to the flat in Wood Green, which had been boarded up and padlocked shut."
Dante Forrest, 36, received a life sentence with a minimum term of 22 years for the fatal attack on 40-year-old Marvin Dickson in September 2024. Dickson was discovered dead at Forrest's north London flat in Wood Green after neighbours complained about a smell and police forced entry to a boarded-up, padlocked property. CCTV showed Dickson walking with Forrest early on 10 September carrying a takeaway pizza box later found covered in his blood. Blood evidence was found on Forrest's clothing and in the flat, suggesting Dickson was killed in the living area and dragged to the bathtub. A post mortem recorded blunt side trauma to the head and stab wounds. Dickson's family said he would "forever be loved, missed and remembered."
