A man has been charged with the murder of 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin following the sword attack in Hainault, east London, on Tuesday, the Metropolitan Police say. He is Marcus Aurelio Arduini Monzo, 36.
Daniel’s family have said he was “a wonderful child” who was well loved and hard-working, adding that his death left “a gaping wound” in the family.
“No family should have to go through what we are experiencing today,” they told told Sky News.
Friends and teachers have lavishly praised Daniel – who was killed in a sword attack in north London – as “an amazing young man” and a “true scholar”.
Police have pledged to deliver justice for the teenager who attended the same private school as Nottingham stabbing victim Grace O’Malley-Kumar.
Bancroft’s School in Woodford Green, which said it was devastated by his killing, paid tribute to him as “a true scholar, demonstrating commendable dedication to his academic pursuits,” adding: “His positive nature and gentle character will leave a lasting impact on us.”
Grace was killed last June as she tried to save her friend, Barnaby Webber, from their killer Valdo Calocane.
Two police officers injured in line of duty in Hainault are ‘recuperating well'
Two police officers injured in the line of duty in Hainault are “recuperating well”, Rick Prior, chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, has said.
Asked about the officers’ condition, he told Radio 4’s Today programme: “Two officers were very seriously injured. The male officer suffered a serious injury to his hand and our female colleague suffered what has been described as horrifically serious injuries to her arm, where I believe it was touch and go whether or not she would actually be able to get the use of that arm back.
“But I understand that they are doing well, they are recuperating well, and as a federation we are offering all the support that we possibly can.”

Watch: Police Taser suspect
Moment police take down Hainault sword attack suspect captured on home CCTV
The moment police tasered the sword-wielding Hainault suspect on Tuesday, 30 April, was caught on doorbell camera footage. A 14-year-old boy died and four other people were injured in the attack in east London. Authorities confirmed two of those injured were Metropolitan Police officers. A 36-year-old man was tasered and arrested at the scene but has not yet been interviewed because of injuries, the Met said. The incident is not believed to be a targeted attack, nor terror-related, police added. King Charles III has offered his sympathies to “all those affected” by the “horrific” stabbings, “In particular, the family of the young victim who has lost his life,” Buckingham Palace said.
Spray and Taser did not subdue suspect, police say
Giving more detail of how the attack happened, Scotland Yard said initial attempts to use incapacitant spray and Taser on the suspect were not effective.
It was not until he was cornered by officers in a driveway and a stun gun fired again that he could be subdued.
Detective Chief Inspector Larry Smith said: “This is an incredibly tragic incident that has resulted in a young boy losing his life and his family devastated.
“On behalf of the family, I would ask that their privacy is respected.
“I know that many people will want answers and we are working to provide them as soon as we can. I would also echo previous calls for patience as my officers carry out a painstaking investigation to deliver justice for Daniel, his family, those injured and the wider community.
“We are starting to build a picture of what happened on Tuesday and I want to thank everyone who has come forward to share dashcam, doorbell and mobile phone footage with us.
“Likewise, thank you to witnesses, who were no doubt terrified by what they saw, and who have made vital contributions to our investigation. Anyone who has not yet spoken to police and has any information should contact us as soon as possible.”
