The Metropolitan Police have launched a £20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Jordan Asije, 22, following the fatal stabbing of 21-year-old Finbar Sullivan at Primrose Hill on 7 April 2026. Sullivan, a filmmaking student, died after being stabbed during a fight in the early evening.
Detective Inspector Andy Griffin, who is leading the investigation, said the force urgently wishes to trace Asije. Griffin appealed directly to Asije, urging him to hand himself in at the nearest police station. The Met released a photograph of Asije, stating he is known to frequent north London.

Charges and court proceedings
Three men have been charged with Sullivan’s murder. Ernest Boateng, 25, Alexis Bidace, 25, and Oliuwadamilola Ogunyankinnu, 27, all from Enfield, appeared at the Old Bailey in June 2026. They entered not guilty pleas and remain in custody. A fourth man, 18-year-old Khalid Abdulqadir from Camden, has been charged with grievous bodily harm.
Griffin warned that anyone knowingly assisting Asije to evade arrest could face criminal charges. The Met said Asije is not believed to pose a wider threat to the public but advised against approaching him. Members of the public who see him should call 999, or 101 with information, quoting reference CAD 6448/07APR26.
