A 21-year-old has been extradited back to the UK from Cyprus and charged with murdering a young father after he tried to break up a fight.
Tyla Gopaul, from Islington, north London, was arrested by Cypriot police on October 23 and brought back to Britain, where officers from the Metropolitan Police charged him on Wednesday.
He is accused of stabbing father-of-two Zakaria Abukar Shariff Ali outside the Rolling Stock bar in Kingsland Road, Shoreditch, east London, just before 6.30am on November 24 last year.
