A man has been charged with murder and named after a sword attack in London killed a 14-year-old-boy.

Marcus Aurelio Arduini Monzo, 36, has been charged with the murder of Daniel Anjorin, two counts of attempted murder, two counts of grievous bodily harm, aggravated burglary and possession of a bladed article following the attack yesterday (30 April), the Metropolitan Police said.

The dual Spanish Brazilian national of east London is set to appear in court tomorrow.

Two officers were also left with 'serious injuries' as one man suffered a wound to his neck.

Jaswant Narwal, Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS London North, said: “The Crown Prosecution Service has authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Marcus Arduini Monzo with the murder of 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin, who was fatally stabbed in Hainault on Tuesday April 30.

“A further four people - including two police officers - were seriously injured and Monzo has also been charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of grievous bodily harm, aggravated burglary and possession of a bladed article.

“He will appear at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court on May 2 2024.

“Our thoughts remain firmly with the family of the Daniel and all those who have been impacted by this horrific incident.

“We remind all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that they have a right to a fair trial.

“It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”

The 14-year-old boy killed in the attack was named earlier today in a statement from the Metropolitan Police. It also gave further details of how the sword attack unfolded: "We know that a 33-year-old man was struck when the suspect crashed his van into the property in Laing Close. He was then attacked by the suspect and suffered a wound to his neck.

“A 35-year-old man suffered lacerations to his arm when he was attacked inside a nearby property. The suspect then went on to attack Daniel Anjorin who, as we know, tragically died from his injuries.

“Officers arrived at the scene within 12 minutes of the first call. They used their Pava incapacitant spray and Taser, however these had limited impact.

“Two officers were subsequently attacked by the suspect, causing serious injuries. They will require long-term rehabilitation to help them recover.

“The suspect fled again before being surrounded by other officers in Thurlow Gardens. They used Taser to overpower him.”
