A Mitcham man has been convicted of the murder of his ex-girlfriend in Croydon.
Hussain Haron, 24, was found guilty of murdering Felecia Cadore, at Snaresbrook Crown Court on 29 January, following a six-day trial.
Cadore, 29, was found by police with stab wounds after an altercation on Grenaby Avenue, Croydon, on 9 June 2023, dying from her injuries five days later.
Metropolitan Police Detective Chief Inspector Craig Magee said: “I hope the verdict provides her [Cadore’s] family with some comfort and allows them to begin to process the effect this brutal crime has had.
“It is an example of the devastating impact violence against women and girls can have.
“We will continue to support the family of Felecia following this horrific attack.”
The court heard how Haron climbed through a window in search of Cadore, grabbing a knife and violently stabbing her.
He was arrested later that afternoon and found in possession of the knife he used to attack Cadore, claiming to be acting in self-defence.
DCI Magee praised the police officers who worked tirelessly to secure evidence, and the courage of witnesses who helped establish the facts.
