Despite the tragic loss of Abdul Jalloh, the conviction of Shamiah McKenzie for murder and Codee Godfrey for manslaughter reflects the grave consequences of knife crime.

Tyrone Elliott, 31, was charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, while Jordan Duncan, 30, faced similar charges following a shooting.

A suspect connected to the murder investigation of Kyran Durnin was arrested on Thursday but shockingly passed away in a home in Drogheda after his release.

Armed police responded to reports of a man with a machete at a property in Sixth Avenue, Ilford, leading to the arrest of one individual.

Police were called to Hilldene Avenue at the junction of Newbury Road, Harold Hill, at about 5.16pm on August 15 to reports of a man stabbed. Emergency services found a 46-year-old man with a slash injury to his face, who was treated at the scene before being taken to a hospital. Thankfully, his condition was assessed as non life-threatening and non life-changing, which should bring some relief to the local community after such a traumatic incident.
