Finbar Sullivan was a student at the London Screen Academy, where he was known for his passion for film. His father, Chris Sullivan, described him as a vibrant and beloved young man.
“I’ve lost my only son,” he told BBC London. “All of his friends said he was the light, the leader. His friends’ parents loved him. That’s why this is so tragic.”
In a related development, another man in his 20s was found with stab injuries on nearby Regent’s Park Road on the same day. He was taken to the hospital, where his injuries were confirmed to be non-life-threatening.
