The brutal attack occurred on May 14, when officers on patrol in Chippenham Road, Maida Vale, found Kyriacou with severe injuries at 2.40am. Despite efforts to save him, Kyriacou succumbed to his injuries eight days later on Friday.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Biniam Tewolde Negash, 36, was arrested and charged with attempted murder on May 17, in connection with the assault. Negash, who was known to the victim, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court the next day and was remanded in custody.
