Three stabbed to death in London during just one day of knife carnage
A son of Sardinian hotel owners has been found stabbed to death in his east London flat. Bengali woman arrested.

Pietro Sanna, 23, was discovered with multiple wounds in his home in Canning Town, one of three knife killings in London in a single day.

His parents were travelling to London today to join his older brother Giomaria, who also lives in the capital.

Mr Sanna, who is thought to have moved to London two years ago from the Sardinian city of Nuoro, died in a “brutal and vicious attack” at his home in Ravenscroft Close on Monday.

His family run a hotel in the seaside resort of San Teodoro on Sardinia.

Mr Sanna was described by friends as a “good” and “unique” person who enjoyed making music.

A woman was arrested yesterday on suspicion of his murder and was today in custody at an east London police station. Neighbours said the victim was a “respectful” and “lovely” man, who was known affectionately as Pedro.

They told how his older brother Giomaria found him after breaking his door down with police at 11.40am.

One said: “Pedro was a lovely boy. You would see him coming and going with his bike and he would always say hello.

“I just can’t believe it’s happened. We have never had anything like that happen around here.

“We saw his brother the day he found him. He was out here with police, screaming and crying. It was terrible. Pedro had been living there about six months with three or four other people.”

Another neighbour said: “It’s disgusting what has happened to him. He was a really respectful lad and friendly enough. He was very respectful and never any trouble. All the people in that house were quiet.”

Also on Monday, Lee Jay Hatley, 29, died in hospital after being attacked when a row broke out in a top-floor flat in Canonbury, Islington, at 2am.

A 22-year-old woman also suffered stab wounds in the incident in which Mr Hatley died. She was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and remains in hospital.

Neighbours described hearing swearing and a loud “thud” before ambulances arrived. Detective Chief Inspector Dave Whellams, who is investigating the incident, said police were trying to trace “a small group” of people who had gathered at the flat.

Mr Hatley was a close friend of 28-year-old Jonathan McPhillips, known as “JJ”, who was killed in Islington in February.

Mr McPhillips’s mother Michelle called for tougher penalties to deter those who carry weapons.

She said: “Lee Jay was my son’s best friend. His mum is so devastated.

“I would like to see heavier sentences for knife crime. It has to be that people get scared to pick up a knife — if they’re not scared, they’re going to keep on picking up knives and using them. Lee Jay goes out with his girlfriend and ends up getting stabbed.

“Islington has lost another innocent person to knife crime. How many more parents are going to have to wake up in the morning to this before something seriously gets done about it?”

At 8pm on Monday young father Alfred Purcell died after being stabbed in a street argument outside a newsagents in East Ham.

A close friend said: “I’ve known him for years and it’s shocking that this happened to him. He was a father, it’s just horrific for his family.”

Flatmate confesses to murder of Italian in London
Bengali girl with English citizenship told investigators that she killed Pietro Sanna in his house in Canning Town


The flatmate of 23-year-old Sardinian Pietro Sanna has confessed to stabbing him to death. Sanna was found dead on Monday morning at his home in Canning Town by his brother, Giomaria. The young woman, Hasna Begum, a 25-year-old of Bengali origin with English citizenship, allegedly stabbed the young man “in a brutal, fierce attack,” according to a police statement issued after the discovery of the body. No further details have been released about the murder of the young man who left Sardinia two years ago to perfect his English and stay with his elder brother, who had moved to London a few years earlier.



Post-mortem

A post-mortem examination was carried out on the victim on Wednesday, while Pietro’s Facebook profile was closed to help the Metropolitan Police in their investigations. The whole family has arrived in London: Pietro’s father, Piergraziano, owner of the the Hotel Scintilla in San Teodoro, his mother, and his sister Marisa, who is a student at university in Cagliari. Piergraziano was too distraught to formally recognize his son’s body. His parents and sister were welcomed by Giomaria, “Giommy” to his friends, who works in London at Notes Coffee, Food & Wine. It was he who found his brother’s body lying in a pool of blood at 11.40 on Monday morning, after being called by his Bengali flatmate, who had however vanished in the meantime. The family are not speaking to the press, but are only interested in taking Pietro back to Sardinia as soon as possible for the funeral.


Neighbours

Pietro’s friends remember him as a good-natured, cheerful young man, and his London neighbours told the Evening Standard that he “would always stop and say hello,” when he rode by on his bicycle. He had his whole life in front of him, but it was taken away in the small side-street of Ravenscroft Close, in east London.
