Man arrested after young bar worker found stabbed to death near home

The 31-year-old was taken into custody from an address in Dalston, east London, yesterday following the death of Iuliana Tudos, 22.
Ms Tudos, who also called herself Julie, was found dead in Finsbury Park near her north London home last Wednesday,havinggonemissing on Christmas Eve.
Ms Tudos, who police said was of Russian and Greek origin, was last seen by friends about 8pm on Christmas Eve when she headed for a bus home from Camden.
She was due to meet them at another friend’s home in Enfield, north London, later that evening before spending Christmas Day there, but never arrived.
Police said CCTV footage showed her on the periphery of the park shortly after 8:20pm.
Her body was found three days later in a disused building located in the north-eastern area of the park.
A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as a stab wound to the abdomen and a head injury.
A crowdfunding appeal to cover her funeral has so far raised more than £15,000.
