The Met Police has named the 36-year-old man charged with murder after a 14-year-old schoolboy was killed in a sword rampage in London on Tuesday morning.

       Marcus Aurelio Arduini Monzo, from Newham, east London, has also been charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of grievous bodily harm, aggravated burglary and possession of a bladed article, according to the force.

       Jaswant Narwal, Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS London North, said: “The Crown Prosecution Service has authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Marcus Arduini Monzo with the murder of 14-year-old Daniel Anjorin, who was fatally stabbed in Hainault on Tuesday April 30.

       “A further four people – including two police officers – were seriously injured and Monzo has also been charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of grievous bodily harm, aggravated burglary and possession of a bladed article.

       “Our thoughts remain firmly with the family of the Daniel and all those who have been impacted by this horrific incident.

       “We remind all concerned that criminal proceedings against the defendant are active and that they have a right to a fair trial.

       “It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.”

       The boy’s family told Sky News he was “a wonderful child” who was “well loved” and “hard working”, adding that his death “leaves a gaping wound in the family”.

       “No family should have to go through what we are experiencing today,” they told the broadcaster.

       “Any family will understand it’s an absolute tragedy.”
