Six people stood in court accused of trying to interfere with fatal stabbing investigation of 24-year-old Blue Stevens in Knightsbridge last summer.
Prosecutors say the group is accused of perverting the course of justice in connection with Stevens’ death. The 24-year-old was stabbed in front of Marriott’s Park Tower hotel and casino in Knightsbridge, London, in July 2025 and died at the scene.
Adnan Hindawi, 25, Ali Hindawi, 24, Nicholas McCoy, 23, Mozahedul Alam, 26, Shafwan Meah, 20, and Jayden Clement-Bryan, 25, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on February 9, 2026. The charges were formally brought a month earlier, on January 10.
During the brief hearing, the court was told that the case will be transferred to the Central Criminal Court. All six men have been granted bail and are expected to appear at the Old Bailey on March 9.
Detectives are still working to track down 25-year-old Youssef Razak, who officials say is wanted in connection with Stevens’ murder. He remains the focus of an active manhunt as specialist officers continue to make inquiries.
Detective Chief Inspector Samantha Townsend, from the Metropolitan Police’s Specialist Crime Command, said investigators were pursuing “every possible line of enquiry” while specially trained officers continued to support Stevens’ relatives.
Blue Steven’s family issues appeal
In one statement released by police, Stevens’ family spoke of their devastation and urged anyone with information to come forward. They said: “No one can take back what was taken from us. Our lives will never be happy or complete without our Blue. We are asking anyone who has any information about this crime or the offender to come forward. Any information, no matter how small, will help our children know their father’s life is important.”
The investigation began on the evening of July 9, 2025, when emergency services were called at around 9:24 pm to reports of a stabbing in front of Marriott’s Park Tower hotel and casino in Knightsbridge, London, near the busy shopping district. Paramedics and police officers attempted to revive Stevens, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Since then, homicide detectives have been piecing together the events leading up to the attack, reviewing CCTV footage and speaking to potential witnesses. The latest court appearance marks an important step in the wider case, even as the investigation into the killing itself continues.
The police continue to ask for information from the public. Anyone with details that could assist the investigation is asked to contact officers, quoting CAD 8521/09JUL25, or to contact Crimestoppers anonymously.
