A Nigerian man, Okechukwu Iweha, was stabbed to death outside Tottenham Hotspur stadium before the North London club’s Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest on Sunday, Daily Mail reports.

Police and paramedics were called to Northumberland Park on the outskirts of the stadium just before 6am, where Iweha was found dead with a number of stab injuries.

CPR was administered on the 46-year-old but despite the efforts of paramedics, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Although formal identification is yet to take place, the Met Police confirmed late Sunday night they believe the man killed was Iweha, who lived in the local area.

His next of kin have now been informed and are being supported by specialist officers. A post-mortem examination will be held at Haringey Mortuary later this week.
