Detectives investigating the fatal stabbing of a 20-year-old in Kilburn have arrested a man on suspicion of murder.

The 21-year-old was arrested following a proactive warrant in Wandsworth on Saturday, 30 May. He was taken to hospital as a precaution due to existing stabs wounds and will be transferred to custody following treatment.

While we continue to work at pace behind the scenes, I again ask that anyone with information contacts police as a matter of urgency.

“Our thoughts remain with Malakai’s loved ones as they continue to navigate their way through this deeply upsetting time.”

Anyone with information, or who was in the area at the time of the incident and may have video footage, is asked to contact police on 101, quoting 8418/26MAY.
