suspect in russell square stabbing murder appears in courtThe suspect arrested for carrying out a knife attack in London that resulted in the death of an American tourist and caused injuries to five more people has been remanded in custody after appearing in court today. 19-year-old Zakaria Bulhan is charged with murder of a retired teacher, 64-year-old Darlene Horton, at Russell Square on Wednesday evening, along with attempted murder of Martin Hoenisch, Lillie Selletin, David Imber, Bernard Hepplewhite and Yovel Lewkowski.

A Norwegian national of Somali origin who moved to the UK in 2002 and lives in Tooting, Mr Bulhan, appeared before Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Saturday. Upon inquiry, the teenager stated his name, address and date of birth to the court in a low voice with his hand over his mouth. Unrepresented in court, Mr Bulhan sat through the short hearing with his hand over his mouth. He only expressed attentive expression when the names of the victims were read to him in court and upon inquiry if he understood the charges, he nodded and gave the judge a thumbs-up gesture. Mr Bulhan was remanded in custody and ordered to appear at the Old Bailey on August 9.

The deceased victim, Ms Horton, was wife of a university professor from Florida who was just hours away from flying home when she was killed. The mother-of-two was visiting London with husband Richard Wagner, who was teaching summer classes, and the couple had planned to return to their home in Tallahassee on Thursday, Florida State University said.
