A man has been charged with the murder of a bus driver in north London, following a manhunt that ended with him being found at Notting Hill Carnival and arrested.

The Metropolitan Police had been trying to locate Kamar Williams in connection with the fatal stabbing of Derek Thomas, 53, in Stoke Newington last month – and thought Mr Williams could have been in Cornwall.

Mr Williams, 33, from the Isle of Dogs in east London, was charged with murder and possession of a knife on Tuesday.

He is due to appear at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.

Stopped at carnival

The Met said officers stopped Mr Williams at the event in west London before he was arrested.

It added Mr Thomas’s family had been informed and continued to be supported by specialist officers.

Officers were called at about 23:05 BST on 30 July to reports of a man suffering a stab injury in Northwold Road in Stoke Newington, east London.

Police and paramedics attended but Mr Thomas was pronounced dead at the scene.

In a previous statement, the force said a post-mortem examination held on 1 August gave Mr Thomas’s cause of death as a stab wound to the chest.

A 30-year-old woman was arrested on 3 August on suspicion of assisting an offender and has since been bailed.

Go-Ahead bus group, which was Mr Thomas’s employer, had said it was assisting the police with its investigation.

Tom Joyner, its managing director, said: “The entire team at Go-Ahead London is saddened by this incident and the tragic loss of one of their colleagues, and our thoughts are with the family of the colleague who has lost their life.”
