The teenage son of a Hatton Garden businessman has died after being hit by a car.

Would-be boxer Jourdan Deal, 19, was hit by a Renault Clio as he crossed Regent's Park Road, Finchley, on Friday.

He was a student at Regent's Park Business College and the son of Jonathan Deal, owner of the Heart of Hatton Garden jewellery store, who lives in Finchley with his wife Susan.

Jourdan lived with his mother Renee Taubi and his stepfather Albert in Belgravia. In a tribute, his family said: "All of us are devastated. He was a sweet-natured, caring boy, who had no meanness in him. He was always joking around, pulling people's legs. It took him a while to find the right path, but he was finally doing something he really liked."
