22-year-old charged with murder of an Indian-origin woman at a London bus stop

A 22-year-old man accused of murdering a 66-year-old Indian woman while she waited at a bus stop in north-west London was remanded in custody at a hearing on Tuesday.

Anita Mukhey, a part-time medical secretary for the National Health Service (NHS), was waiting at the Burnt Oak Broadway bus stop in Edgware, London, last week when Jalal Debella is accused of fatally stabbing her in the chest and neck.

He appeared at the Old Bailey Court in London and will enter a plea of guilty or not guilty at the case’s next hearing, which is set for August.

Police were called to Burnt Oak Broadway at 11:50 a.m. on Thursday, May 9, for complaints of a stabbing, according to Metropolitan Police. Officers, the London Ambulance Service (LAS), and London’s Air Ambulance (HEMS) all responded to the site, where a 66-year-old woman received treatment for knife wounds. Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of rescue personnel, she died on the site. The cops claimed they had alerted her family. Debella was detained on suspicion of murder in Colindale, north London, on May 9, and charged with Mukhey’s murder as well as possession of an offensive weapon. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) informed the court that a preliminary cause of death was determined to be sharp force injuries to the front of the ches and neck.

Anita Mukhey, 66, was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who also worked part-time as a Medical Secretary for the NHS. Mukhey’s family requested privacy during this difficult time, according to a statement released by authorities. According to accounts, members of the public cried and shouted for the suspect to stop as the daylight attack shook the city.
