Jonathan Zito
1965 – 1992
Finsbury Park, North London
Perpetrator
Jonathan Zito, a 27-year-old musician, was murdered on 17 December 1992 at Finsbury Park Underground station in London.
While waiting on the platform, he was suddenly and randomly attacked by Christopher Clunis, a 29-year-old man with a long history of paranoid schizophrenia.
Clunis stabbed Zito three times in the face, with one wound penetrating his brain; Zito died two hours later in hospital.
Clunis was arrested the next day, pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility in 1993, and was detained indefinitely in a secure hospital.
Rest in peace Jonathan. You will not be forgotten.
