A teenager has been extradited from Spain and charged with murder after a young father was stabbed to death in Islington.
Jack Stevens, 19, was extradited on Thursday night and appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday.
He has been remanded in custody and will appear at the Old Bailey on Monday.
Stevens was initially arrested by the National Crime Agency, which was using a European Arrest Warrant, in Spain on July 9.
Nashon Esbrand, 27, was stabbed to death in Canonbury on August 24 last year. He had only become a dad for the first time nine days earlier.
Three males were convicted of Mr Esbrand’s murder earlier this year.
His brother, Mark Barton, told the Standard: "The impact is still going on in the family.
"Nashon's daughter had her first birthday party last week, and he wasn't there to see it. It was sad to see.
"We went to lay flowers on the first anniversary of his death last week. We're trying our best, but it's affecting each one of us in different ways."
A 16-year-old boy admitted carrying out the fatal blows before an Old Bailey trial started in March. Two young men – 20-year-old Dillon Zambon and 18-year-old Jhon Berhane – were convicted of murder by a jury following a trial.
In June, Zambon and Berhane were handed life sentences with a minimum 21 years. The 16-year-old boy was given a minimum 12 years.
