31-Year-Old Woman Stabbed To Death In Brixton, Man Charged With Murder

A 33-year-old man has been charged with murder after a woman was stabbed to death in South London in a random attack on Monday (May 1) afternoon.

Johanita Kossiwa Dogbey died at the scene in Stockwell Park Walk, Brixton, after sustaining multiple wounds. The I reports that she was on her way home from buying a birthday gift from her mother and was on the phone to her grandmother at the time of the attack.

Mohamer Nur, who reportedly never even knew Johanita, has been charged with murder and having an offensive weapon, Scotland Yard confirmed in a statement, as well as a further count of having an offensive weapon and three counts of causing grievous bodily harm against two women and a man.

According to the Daily Mail, the 31-year-old charity worker founded the Odette Foundation—an organisation that works with those suffering with sickle cell disease in Ghana and Togo—and lived with her family roughly 300 yards from where she was killed.

Speaking in a statement, her father, Yao, said: “We have no words at this moment. My daughter was beautiful and kind-hearted.”

Announcing the charges, CPS Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor for London North, Lisa Ramsarran, said: “The CPS has authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Mohamed Nur with murder. This charge is in relation to a woman who was stabbed while walking alone near Stockwell Park Road in Brixton on Monday 1 May 2023. Charges have also been authorised in respect of three counts of wounding with intent and two counts of possession of an offensive weapon. The alleged offences occurred between 29 April 2023 and 2 May 2023.

“The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against Mr. Nur are active and that he has the right to a fair trial. It is extremely important there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”

May Johanita rest in eternal peace.
