A musician's son was stabbed to death as a packed London beauty spot erupted into shocking violence. The father of 21-year-old Finbar Sullivan told the Daily Mail of his heartbreak after his son's death on Primrose Hill.Christopher Sullivan, founder of 1980s band Blue Rondo à la Turk, said: 'This is the worst tragedy I could ever imagine. He's my only son... I had him when I was 45. He can never be replaced.'
A father commenting on the death of his son... if you were blind, you'd immediatly know which demographic this was.
One witness, who asked not to be named, said: 'The park was just so busy, I had gone with my mate after work and it was literally the busiest I have ever seen it because of the weather and it being Easter holidays. 'Then suddenly we heard this commotion from behind us, and a big brawl kicked off – people were throwing punches, people were screaming at others to stop.
'There were lots of people involved in the fight, most of them looked about 18 or 19.' Police said no arrests have been made.
Typical. always a day late and a dollar short.
Mr Sullivan said he went to the scene as soon as he heard his son had been caught up in the violence:'It's Primrose Hill, for God's sake... it's like Hyde Park. It's not somewhere you expect this.'
In 2026 it can be expected anywhere in London. The photos of the scene show just why. and more impotantly who.
Detective Inspector Andy Griffin, from Scotland Yard, said: 'We are following several lines of inquiry. This incident occurred in a busy, public park and there may be many witnesses who can help us piece together what happened. 'We are aware of footage circulating on social media around the time of the incident, and urge anyone who has any information, including photos or videos, which could support the investigation to urgently contact us.'
Maybe if you'd showed up a bit faster and arrested a few at the scene, you wouldn't be playing catch up now.
