As lockdown restrictions began to slowly ease, ‘Black Lives Matter’ became the topic of conversation in June after the death of George Floyd in the US and hundreds of years of police brutality and racism.

In Harrow town centre, the iconic Katie statue was boarded up as part of a national precaution before a Black Lives Matter protest.

The move came after the Edward Colston statue that was thrown into Bristol Harbour on June 6 started demands to remove similar statues around the UK.

But the Skipping Katie statue, set up in 1987, had no connection with racial tensions, injustice or slave trading – and likely would not have been targeted even if it had not been boarded up.

Two sisters were found dead in Fryent Country Park after a birthday picnic in June. The sisters, from Harrow and Brent, met with a group of people at the park at the evening, and by midnight only sisters Nicole Smallman and Bibaa Henry remained.

They were reported missing the next day and were discovered in the park the following day.

Danyal Hussein, 18, was charged with double murder and possessing an offensive weapon.

Two Metropolitan Police officers who allegedly took selfies by the dead bodies at the crime scene could face criminal charges, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said.

An industrial site in Enfield was chosen to host huge new film studios – claimed to be the largest in London by the company behind the project.

The 139,000 sq ft OMA Film Studios are designed to allow more productions to be filmed in the UK in response to growing demand from international companies.
