A teenager has been charged with the murder of sisters Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman in a park in Wembley, north London, on June 6. A teenager has been remanded in custody after appearing in court charged with the murder of two sisters in a London park.
Danyal Hussein, 18, of Blackheath in south-east London, has also been charged with possession of an offensive weapon and will appear in custody at Westminster magistrates court on Thursday. Danyal Hussein, 18, appeared at Westminster magistrates court on Thursday morning accused of killing sisters Nicole Smallman, 27, and Bibaa Henry, 46, in Fryent Country Park, near Wembley, in north-west London, in the early hours of 6 June. The women were found stabbed to death the following day.
The Metropolitan police’s north-west basic command unit commander, Roy Smith, said: “I would like to thank the local community for their support both with the investigation and the police activity at and around the scene. Hussein, of Blackheath, south-east London, flanked by three security guards, spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth, address and British nationality during the four-minute hearing.
“I know that colleagues from across the Met have been working tirelessly on this investigation. He was not asked to enter any pleas to the charges: two counts of murder and a further count of possession of an offensive weapon.
“My officers will remain on patrol in the local area providing continued reassurance - please do stop and speak with them if you have any questions or concerns.” District judge Angus Hamilton remanded him in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on Monday.
Henry, a senior social worker from Brent, and Smallman, a photographer from Harrow, had met friends during the evening to celebrate Henry’s birthday, officers said.
