London: <\/b><\/p>\n
A 22-year-old man was charged with the murder of a 66-year-old Indian-origin woman as she waited at a bus stop in north-west London in Tuesday. He was sent into custody at a hearing.<\/p>\n
Anita Mukhey, who worked part-time for the National Health Service (NHS) as a medical secretary, was waiting at the Burnt Oak Broadway bus stop in the Edgware area of London last week when Jalal Debella allegedly stabbed her in chest and neck.<\/p>\n
He appeared at the Old Bailey Court in London and will enter his plea of guilty or not guilty at the next hearing in the case scheduled for August.<\/p>\n
“Police were called at around 11:50hrs on Thursday, 9 May, to reports of a stabbing in Burnt Oak Broadway,” the Metropolitan Police said.<\/p>\n
“Officers, London Ambulance Service (LAS) and London’s Air Ambulance (HEMS) all attended the scene, where a 66-year-old woman was treated for knife wounds. Sadly, despite the best efforts of emergency services, she died at the scene. Her family have been informed,” the police said.<\/p>\n
Jalal Debella was arrested on suspicion of murder in the Colindale area of north London later on May 9 and charged with Anita Mukhey’s murder and also for possession of an offensive weapon. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) told the court that a preliminary cause of death was found to be sharp force injuries to the front of the chest and neck.<\/p>\n
“Anita Mukhey, 66 years old, was a married mother and grandmother devoted to her family, who also worked part-time in the NHS as a Medical Secretary. The family ask for privacy at this difficult time,” Anita Mukhey’s family said in a statement issued via the police.<\/p>\n
According to reports, people on the spot screamed and shouted at the suspect to stop as the daylight attack sent shockwaves across the community.\u00a0<\/p>\n
