It comes after a 40-year-old man’s body was discovered in a flat in Wood Green on Friday

An Edmonton man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man’s body was discovered in a Wood Green flat.

Police were called at about 9.45pm on Friday (20th), following concerns for the occupant of an address in Moselle Avenue. Officers attended and forced entry into the flat, where they discovered the man deceased.

He has been named as 40-year-old Marvin Dixon. His family have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

A special post-mortem examination held on Sunday (22nd) found the cause of death to be blunt force trauma. The same day, 36-year-old man was arrested in the Edmonton area on suspicion of murder. He remains in custody.

Detective Chief Inspector Neil John said: “I would like to hear from anyone who has been to the flat in recent weeks and who may know the occupants – and also from anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area.

“It’s vital that we establish the movements of anyone who entered the property.”

Chief Inspector Lee Mckean, one of the senior officers responsible for policing Haringey, said: “We know that there will be genuine concern in the area and I would encourage anyone with information or concerns to speak with police. Additional officers will be in the area to support local people.”
