Two men have become the third and fourth people killed in London in a week following separate attacks.

The latest victim died two days after being stabbed in a 'seemingly unprovoked attack in north London.

The 33-year-old victim, named locally Baris Kucuk, was 'stabbed in the leg' in Stamford Hill, north London by a robber, according to frightened locals.

A 33-year-old man has died after being stabbed in the leg in the early hours of Saturday morning in an un-provoked attack. The victim was treated at the scene on the junction of Varty Road and Seven Sisters Road but died later in hospital. Forensic experts searched for evidence in the hope of tracking down the knife attacker

He was attacked in the early hours of Saturday and rushed to a north London hospital where he died yesterday.

A friend of the victim stood close to the crime scene and spoke on the phone with tears in his eyes.

When asked if he knew Mr Kucuk, he said: 'He will never be forgotten.'

Neighbours spoke of the attack, with a 53-year-old woman describing what happened as “a robbery gone wrong”.

She said: 'This happened just over from Stamford Hill, the primary school, he was stabbed in the leg. It’s known around here that they tried to steal his mobile phone.

'I spoke to a policewoman earlier and she told me they had found a weapon.'

A large cordon remains in place, with two police officers keeping guard on a busy Seven Sister’s Road.

It is the same road that the murder suspect, 17, was arrested yesterday afternoon on suspicion of murder.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: 'On June 3 a 17-year-old youth was arrested on suspicion of murder at an address in Seven Sisters Road, N4.

'He has been taken to an east London police station where he is currently detained.

The 33-year-old was stabbed in the leg shortly before 3.09am on Saturday, near the junction between Seven Sisters Road and Vartry Road.

Detective Chief Inspector Paul Considine, who is leading the investigation, said: 'We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the park at the time and who might have seen the incident or events leading up to it.

'Any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, could help us move forward with our investigation.”

Two men have been arrested, one of whom has been charged with GBH and appeared in court prior the victim’s death. Enquiries are ongoing.
