Cllr Peray Ahmet, Leader of Haringey Council, has issued a statement following the fatal stabbing that took place on New Year's Eve.

“I was devastated to hear the news that another young person living in Haringey has been tragically murdered on New Year’s Eve. I send my heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Harry Pitman, and this is a terrible loss for our community.

“The fact this incident took place as thousands assembled to watch a firework extravaganza in Primrose Hill, Camden makes it even more shocking and horrifying.

“Harry was a former pupil at St Thomas More Catholic School in Wood Green and we will work closely with the school to ensure students receive the support they need during these challenging times.

“We will continue to work closely with the police and our communities and if you have any information, please contact the investigation team on 0208 785 8099.

“Every life lost is one too many and no family should have to experience such a tragedy. My thoughts remain with them.”
