A man has been charged with the murder of a 31-year-old woman who was stabbed to death in the street in south London.
Mohamed Nur, 33, will appear in court accused of murdering Johanita Kossiwa Dogbey who was found with fatal knife wounds in Stockwell Park Walk, Brixton, on 1 May.
Nur is also charged with three counts of causing grievous bodily harm against two women and a man who suffered slash injuries in separate incidents in Brixton within an hour-period on 29 April.
He will appear at Croydon Magistrates' Court today.
Nur, of Bondway in Vauxhall, south London, is also charged with two counts of possession of an offensive weapon.
Following the fatal stabbing, police said they believed Ms Dogbey was approached from behind and attacked by someone unknown to her.
Her family has paid tribute, saying she was a "smart, dedicated, and loving girl who always helped anyone".
"She hasn't got one bad bone in her body," Ms Dogbey's family added.
"She wouldn't hurt a fly. We can't believe a senseless crime like this has happened as we can't imagine who would do this to her.
"Our hearts are completely broken and will not understand why someone would take our beautiful girl away from us, she will forever be in our hearts as we will carry on living life as gracefully and beautifully as she did."
