Christopher Sullivan, a 20-year-old filmmaking student, was fatally stabbed in Primrose Hill, London, earlier this week.
The victim was identified as Finbar Sullivan, according to his grieving father, Christopher Sullivan, who spoke to the BBC UK. Mr Sullivan described his son as 'a beautiful soul with so much to give', and said 'he can never be replaced'. Christopher Sullivan praised Finbar's passion for filmmaking and the love he received from his family and friends.
Finbar Sullivan was described by his father as 'full of life, full of laughter, full of joy', and Mr Sullivan acknowledged his son's dreams of creating films and making people happy. The father's tribute to Finbar came as detectives investigated the circumstances of his death and worked to find those responsible. No arrests have been made or announced by the authorities.
Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation into Finbar Sullivan's death, which occurred on Thursday April 7, in an unspecified location within Primrose Hill. As a family spokesperson said, the family would not comment further on the events of that evening. The investigation has not identified any suspects and there was no official statement made available from the police department at press time.
