Man charged with murder of filmmaking student in north London
Finbar Sullivan died following a stabbing on Primrose Hill
A man has been charged with murder after a 21-year-old was fatally stabbed at a popular viewpoint in north London.
Finbar Sullivan died on Tuesday evening (7th April 2026) following an alleged attack on Primrose Hill.
His father, Christopher Sullivan, 65, previously told the Daily Mail his son had gone to the area to use a new camera he had got for his birthday.
“This is the worst tragedy I could ever imagine,” he told the newspaper on Thursday.
“He’s my only son… I had him when I was 45. He can never be replaced.”
He added: “I’m so broken-hearted, I can’t believe it.
“He was the most beautiful, lovely, outgoing, loving boy. He was just a really lovely person.”
Mr Sullivan said his son had ambitions to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, cameraman Michael Seresin, who worked on Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban and Rambo III.
Oliuwadamilola Ogunyankinnu, who's 27 and Southbury Road in Enfield, is due to appear at Stratford Magistrates' Court tomorrow (Monday 13th April 2026) charged with murder.
A 25-year-old man arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender has been released with no further action, police said.
