New charges have been brought against a man in connection with the kidnapping and killing of a popular DJ. 

DJ Koray Alpergin and his girlfriend Gozde Dalbudak were snatched as they returned home from an Italian restaurant in Mayfair in October 2022. 

They were taken to an empty wine bar near Tottenham Hotspur Stadium where 43-year-old Mr Alpergin was said to have been tortured and killed. 

His body was then dumped in woodland near the Oakwood Hill Industrial Estate in Loughton and 34-year-old Ms Dalbudak spent two days locked in a toilet before being freed. 

Now Dylan Weatherley, 20, of Beaufoy Road, Tottenham, has been charged with the kidnap and false imprisonment of Mr Alpergin and Ms Dalbudak, as well as conspiring to murder Mr Alpergin. 

He will appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Thursday (March 14). 

In December five men were jailed in relation to Mr Alpergin’s death. 

Ali Kavak, 26, of De Quincey Road, Tottenham was sentenced to 13 years in prison after being found guilty of manslaughter, kidnap, false imprisonment and perverting the course of justice. 

Tejean Kennedy, 33, of Cricklewood Broadway, was sentenced to 18 years in prison after he was found guilty of manslaughter, kidnap and false imprisonment. 

Steffan Gordon, 34, of Dehavilland Close, Northolt – had pleaded guilty to kidnap and was found guilty of false imprisonment. He has now been jailed for eight years.

He owned a Turkish language radio station in London, Bizim FM, and had in the past been pictured with celebrities from the worlds of high-end cuisine and rap.
