Three people have been arrested after a 47-year-old man was stabbed to death at a residential address in north London.

Emergency services were called to Greyhound Hill, Hendon, late on Friday night after reports that a man had been stabbed.

The suspects were taken to a north London police station for questioning.

“A male, aged 47, was found with a stab injury. Despite the efforts of paramedics he was pronounced dead at the scene,” the Met said.

“A 43-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder. A 21-year-old man and woman aged 23 have also been arrested in connection with this incident. All have been taken to a north London police station for questioning. The deceased and those arrested were known to each other.”

Police said there were no other reported injuries. A crime scene remains in place as detectives from the homicide and major crime command investigate.

The incident comes at a time of growing concern over rising levels of violent crime in the capital after the number of homicides in London this year reached 100 last month.
