Man murdered in row with youths
A father of two was stabbed to death yards from his doorstep after asking a gang of youths to be quiet.
Steven Nyembo-Ya-Muteba, 40, was attacked in Evergreen Square, Hackney, east London, on Sunday night.
Police said he went to speak to a group of up to 12 youngsters in the foyer of the flats where he lived when he was attacked. He died later in hospital.
Four teenagers, one aged 15, two 16-year-old and one 17-year-old, were arrested in connection with the murder.
Detectives said Mr Nyembo-Ya-Muteba had been disturbed by a group of 10-12 youths making loud noises in the communal area of the flats just after 2200 BST.
Forensic search
He went out to ask them to keep the noise down, as it was late and he had to be at work the next day.
Police believe that he ushered them away from the communal area of the block of flats but one or two of them returned and attacked him.
Mr Nyembo-Ya-Muteba, who was a maths student, was taken to Homerton Hospital with stab wounds but later died from his injuries.
Simon Pountain, Borough Commander for Hackney Police, said: "Steven did what any normal citizen would do in a situation like this if someone is causing a disturbance.
"It is tragic that it just so happens that one or more this group decided to come back and attack him."
The square has been cordoned off while forensic experts carry out a fingertip search of the victim's flat and the surrounding area. Black bin liners have been used by the police to cover the windows to what is thought to be the stairwell where Mr Nyembo-Ya-Muteba was stabbed.
