A MAN, 33, has been charged with murder after Johanita Kossiwa Dogbey was slashed in Brixton – days after three knife attacks.

Cops said Mohamed Nur, 33, has been charged with murder, possession of an offensive weapon and three counts of grievous bodily harm.

The Metropolitan Police said: “A man has been charged with the murder of 31-year-old Johanita Kossiwa Dogbey in Brixton on Monday, 1 May.

“Mohamed Nur, 33, of Bond Way, SW8, was charged with murder and possession of an offensive weapon.

“He has also been charged with a further count of possession of an offensive weapon and three counts of causing grievous bodily harm against two women and a man.

“The two women and a man suffered slash injuries in separate incidents in Town Hall Parade, Brixton Road and Acre Lane in Brixton, that happened within a one-hour period on Saturday, 29 April.

“Nur is due to attend Croydon Magistrates Court on Friday, 5 May.”

In a moving tribute, Johanita’s family said: “We are devastated by the news of the passing of our daughter.

“Johanita was a smart, dedicated, and loving girl who always helped anyone.

“She hasn’t got one bad bone in her body. 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.”

Officers arrived at the scene and were joined by the London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance.

Johanita was found with stab wounds and despite the efforts of the emergency services, she was pronounced dead at the scene just before 5pm.

Four people, including the victim’s father, prayed at the cordon on Monday night.

Specially trained officers are continuing to provide support to Johanita’s family.
