Guilty: Hussain Haron
A 24-year-old man, Hussain Haron, of London Road, Mitcham, was yesterday found guilty of the 2023 murder in Croydon of his ex-girlfriend, Felecia Cadore.
Police were called to a report of “an altercation” at an address in Grenaby Avenue, Selhurst, on June 9, 2023.
Cadore, who was 29, was found in a critical condition with stab wounds and taken to hospital where she died from her injuries on June 14.
Cadore was one of 11 murder victims in Croydon in 2023.
During the six-day trial, held at Snaresbrook Crown Court, the jury heard that “Haron climbed through the window of the address in the search of Cadore. Following an altercation between the two, Haron grabbed a knife and violently stabbed her”, according to Scotland Yard.
When Haron was arrested later that afternoon, he was found in possession of the knife he used in his attack.
Despite claiming he was acting in self-defence, Haron was found guilty of murder by the jury.
He is due to be sentenced tomorrow.
Detective Chief Inspector Craig Magee, from Specialist Crime, said: “Today, justice has been served following the conviction of Hussain Haron for the murder of Felecia Cadore in June 2023. It is an example of the devastating impact violence against women and girls can have.
“The verdict is a result of officers working meticulously and tirelessly to secure evidence. It is also testament to the courage of the witnesses who helped establish the facts, and bravely stood in the court room to give their evidence.
“It has been 18 months since Felecia was killed. I hope that today’s verdict provides her family with some comfort and allows them to begin to process the effect this brutal crime has had. We will continue to support the family of Felecia following this horrific attack.”
