Our sister site London Now reported that on December 15, Tsidi Winion, 20, was charged with murder and possession of an offensive weapon and is due to face trial on August 6, 2026.
On Boxing Day (December 26) five more arrests were made in north west London.
Abdel Dedour, 22, was arrested following a two-week manhunt and public appeal as well as four others in the same property.
Three men and a woman aged between 18 and 47, were detained for assisting an offender.
The 47-year-old woman was further arrested after an assault on a police officer whilst a 39-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence and driving offences.
All five remain in police custody.
Detective Chief Inspector Allam Bhangoo, who is leading the investigation, said: “Our thoughts remain with Adam’s loved ones throughout this unimaginably difficult time.
“There is no place for senseless acts of violence on our streets – and those responsible for such crimes should be brought to justice.
“My dedicated team have worked tirelessly over the last few weeks.
"Dedour tried many ways to evade capture, but thanks to the efforts of officers, we are now one step closer to securing justice.”
