Golders Green stabbing suspect in court on three charges of attempted murder
Police say the attack is being treated as terrorism as the suspect faces three attempted murder counts and remains in custody.
- On Friday, Westminster Magistrates' Court remanded 45-year-old Essa Suleiman into custody to face two counts of attempted murder over the Golders Green stabbings, with his case transferred to the Central Criminal Court for a May 15 hearing.
- Police confirmed that authorities referred Suleiman to the government's Prevent program in 2020, though the police force closed his file later that same year without disclosing the reason.
- Suleiman also faces a third attempted-murder charge for an earlier incident that day; the two victims, aged 34 and 76, were seriously injured, with one discharged from hospital and the other in stable condition.
- Following the attack, Britain raised its terror threat level to 'severe,' citing a 'terrorist threat from individuals and small groups,' and Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledged increased security for the Jewish community.
- These stabbings followed a string of recent arson attacks on synagogues and other Jewish sites in London, indicating a broader pattern of escalating hostility in the Golders Green area, a center of Britain's Jewish community.
