17 year old boy and 16 year old girl charged with the murder of 51 year old homeless man Anthony Marks in the early hours of 10 August 2024, who was sheltering in a bin shelter on Cromer St, Kings Cross, London. Rest in peace. 😢

The girl, from Brixton in south London, cannot be identified because of her age. She is due to appear at Croydon Magistrates' Court later.

In October, a 17-year-old boy from Dagenham in east London was charged with Mr Marks's murder and remanded in custody and is due to face trial next year.

The police are keen to hear from any witnesses who have not yet spoken to them, as well as any of Anthony’s next of kin, who so far remain unidentified.

Anyone with information should contact the incident room direct on 0208 358 0300, or 101 quoting CAD 1428/10AUG24.

Speaking on the murder in October Detective Chief Inspector Sarah Lee, from the Met's Specialist Crime Command, said: 'Despite someone having been charged, our investigation is ongoing with a number of active lines of enquiry. Sadly, despite our best efforts, we have been unable to identify next-of-kin for Anthony and I urge anyone who can help to contact the investigation team.'

'I am also very keen to hear from anyone who witnessed this incident but has not yet spoken with police. There were a number of people in the area at the time of the murder and we know that some of those people tried to help Anthony. If you are one of those people please do get in touch with us.'

I'm homeless and thought that sleeping in a bin cupboard is safer than sleeping in a doorway because nobody can see you, that as long as you stay stealth by going there late and get up at sunrise, you're safe because the residents of the flats are asleep, so nobody is going to go in there. But clearly not, this man was murdered in the early hours of a Friday night.

He's their parents age, 35 age gap, and they're not homeless, so very unlikely they hang out together. I think they targeted him just because he's homeless.

I'm guessing the teenagers are boyfriend and girlfriend, and that they saw Anthony Marks sleeping in the bin cupboard and attacked him and murdered him.

  1. Christ that’s awful. Hope these little shits get the maximum possible sentence.

  2. How do these psychopaths find each other? I feel like it would be hard to find a friend willing to go out and casually murder someone. 

  7. Psychopaths, need to be kept away from people the rest of their lives.
    Poor guy, just trying to live his life and get by 🙁
