A south London murderer has been found guilty of stabbing a man to death in Brixton.

Emergency services were called to Coldharbour Lane, Brixton at 4.44pm on Tuesday, October 3, 2023, to reports of a stabbing.

At the scene, police found 22-year-old Keelen Wong with a stab wound.

He died at the scene.

After searching CCTV footage, police located Kyiza Sandiford who injured himself with his own blade and left a blood trail at the scene.

Sandiford admitted himself to hospital, which allowed police to link him to the murder.

The 24-year-old from Merton was then arrested the day after the murder, on Wednesday, October 4, 2023.

He was then charged.

Two teenage defendants were both found not guilty of the murder but one, aged 16, was found guilty of possession of an offensive weapon.

Sandiford was found guilty of the murder after a trial at the Old Bailey on Thursday, October 17.

The teenager and Sandiford will be sentenced at the same court on Friday, November 22.

Detective Inspector Kevin Martin, from the Met's Specialist Crime Command, said: "Today our thoughts are with the Keelen’s family and friends as his attacker was held to account for his murder.

"While nothing can truly assuage the pain of their loss, I hope today’s conviction allows them to hold on to his memory knowing his killer has been brought to justice.

“This awful attack took place in broad daylight, in front of people simply going about their business.

“An innocent young man lost his life to a large knife and this deeply shocked the community at the time.

“The brutal attack on Keelen was a terrible act of senseless violence.

“The investigation team and other specialist officers worked tirelessly to secure this conviction, trawling through hours of CCTV in order to follow the defendant’s footsteps.

“Today shows that the Met remains deeply committed to pursuing and prosecuting those who are willing to commit acts of violence on the streets of London. “
