Student filmmaker was surrounded and kicked on floor before he died, court told

A student filmmaker allegedly stabbed to death at a popular north London viewpoint was surrounded and kicked on the floor before he died, a court heard.

Finbar Sullivan, 21, died after the alleged attack at Primrose Hill on 7 April.

The Old Bailey was told Mr Sullivan entered the park with a friend before he is said to have been surrounded by a group of suspects.

He was punched and pushed to the ground just after 6.30pm, prosecutor Zara Brawley told the court on Wednesday.

Two more men have been charged with murder in connection with the student's death.

Alexis Bidace, 25, of Edmonton, and Ernest Boateng, 25, of Enfield, north London, were arrested earlier this week and have been charged with murder.

They appeared at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court on Wednesday and were remanded in custody. The pair did not enter any formal pleas to the charges.

Anna Wright, defending, said they both deny participation in the alleged murder.

The men spoke only to confirm their names, addresses and age. District Judge Daniel Benjamin remanded them to appear at the Old Bailey on Friday.
