Crime Desk A 21 year old man was murdered in Edmonton when he remonstrated about having conkers thrown at him by a group of black youths in Edmonton. A single stab wound was enough to take the life of Steven Grisales a talented architecture student.
Steven Grisales who was studying architecture in London came to live with his father in July 2011 as he was hoping to start a three-year architectural course in September as part of a scholarship from Westminster College.
The Metropolitan Police have confirmed that two further arrests in connection with the murder in Edmonton have now been made.
On Wednesday 31 August police were called to College Close, N18 shortly after 19:00hrs following reports of an injured man. A man suffering a single stab wound to the chest was taken to the Royal London Hospital where he died on Thursday 1 September. He was Steven Grisales, 21 (24.03.90) of Enfield.
A post-mortem examination held at Haringey Mortuary on Saturday 3 September gave cause of death as a single stab wound to the heart.
Detectives believe up to three young black males, possibly in their late teens or early 20s, attacked Steven. There is nothing to suggest the incident was gang related. Steven did not know the males who attacked him.
An incident room has opened under Detective Inspector Richard Beadle (HSCC).
DI Richard Beadle, said: "I urge anyone with any information about this incident, or anyone that witnessed it to come forward no matter how insignificant they may think their information is - we need to know what lead to the attack and what happened immediately afterwards.
"It happened in a busy residential area and we know there would have been a number of people in the area at the time of the attack. We really need those people to talk to us."
At 18:00hrs on Wednesday 7 September officers will be in the College Road area of Edmonton appealing for information. They are hoping to talk to people who may have been in the area at the same time last week and could have vital information.
