On Tuesday, June 30th, a brutal knife attack in Mitcham left Sayagi and a woman, 35, critically injured, who were rushed to the hospital after the neighbours spotted them, but the little girl was pronounced dead shortly afterwards.
The woman is believed, by the Met, to be known to Sayagi and remains in a critical condition in hospital. The Met have made no arrests yet and said they are “not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident”. A formal investigation is yet to be done by the police are “confident” that the victim is Sayagi. Neighbour Elsa Gonzales, 47, who has lived at Monarch Parade, Mitcham, for 12 years, said: “It’s really breaking my heart, the child was a smart kid, she was always smiling”.
