Trinidadian Daryl Phillips, of Nighton Park Road, Sydenham, was stabbed in the early hours of May 16.

He had been visiting Robin Clarke at his home in Avenue Road, Tottenham.

An air ambulance was called to the scene but paramedics were unable to save 39-year-old Mr Phillips.

He died after haemorrhaging following a single stab wound to his leg.
