The Metropolitan Police has stated that a 31-year-old Ghanaian woman was fatally stabbed in south London in the United Kingdom (UK).
On Monday, May 1, in the late afternoon, Johanita Kossiwa Dogbey was slain on Stockwell Park Walk in Brixton.
The deceased was the founder of the Odette Foundation, a nonprofit organization that assisted sickle cell patients in Ghana and Togo.
According to reports, Johanita was on the phone with her grandma as she was on her way home after purchasing a gift for her mother’s birthday.
She was a few metres away from her house when a man by the name of Mohamed Nur attacked her from behind.
Ms Dogbey was treated by paramedics but pronounced dead at the scene.

Ms Dogbey’s family has described her as a “smart, dedicated and loving” woman who “hasn’t got one bad bone in her body”.
The suspect “has appeared in court charged with the murder as well as offenses related to other alleged stabbing attacks,” according to the BBC.
“Mr Nur, 33, is also accused of another count of possession of an offensive weapon and causing grievous bodily harm to three people, last Saturday.”
According to the Metropolitan Police, three people were slashed in Brixton over the course of an hour: two women and a man on Town Hall Parade, Brixton Road, and Acre Lane.
Mr. Nur, of Bond Way in Vauxhall, made his court appearance on Friday. He was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey the following week.
