Family honors Mark Orabiyi after fatal Silvertown stabbing

Mark Orabiyi, a thirty-five‑year‑old resident, was stabbed in the garden of a property on Rayleigh Road and pronounced dead at the scene on Friday, the fifth of June.

Mark’s family praised him as a devoted son and friend, while a second man in his twenties was hospitalised with stab wounds, though his condition is not life‑threatening.

Detective Chief Inspector Joanna Yorke confirmed the enquiry remains active, appealing for anyone with CCTV from Friday morning to contact the Met, after three suspects were arrested.

Mark’s family is being supported by specialist police officers, and the Metropolitan Police continue their investigation, urging anyone with further details to come forward and help secure justice.
