Hero father, 35, who 'shielded his wife and four-year-old daughter from ... trends now

A hero father who shielded his wife and four-year-old daughter from sword-wielding killer has been reunited with his girl in hospital - as he pays tribute to attack victim Daniel Anjorin for the first time.

Henry De Los Rios Polania, 35, an IT engineer from Hainault, was stabbed in his home on Tuesday morning in a shocking attack that left 14-year-old Daniel dead.

Four others were seriously injured during the 22-minute reign of terror on Tuesday, including a heroic female police officer who almost lost a hand. 

Mr De Los Rios Polania was described by his sister, Jessica, 31, as a 'hero' for protecting his family from the assailant - and yesterday evening he took to social media to pay tribute to his 'angel' daughter while still in hospital. 

In a second clip he showed a woman bending down to place a flower tribute and a tiger teddy at the memorial to Daniel on the residential street where he lived, with a note conveying his and his family's 'deepest sympathies'.

In a heartbreaking message, he said: 'Daniel Anjorin, we are extremely sorry. You did not deserve such tragedy.

'There are no words to convey how terrible this is. Our deepest sympathies to you and your family. Rest in peace Daniel.

'Our hears are breaking for you. We will forever remember you, young King!'

In a second post, he grinned broadly with his laughing toddler, who was rested in the nook of his arm.

Wearing a hospital gown, a cushioned sling and holding a cushion on his lap, he looked overjoyed as he was once again reunited with his beaming girl.

Captioning the photo, he told his followers: 'I have no other words but she is my angel! Daddy will be home soon.'

Marcus Arduini Monzo, 36, a dual Spanish-Brazilian national living in Newham, east London, has appeared in court accused of murdering Daniel Anjorin as he was walking to school on Tuesday, and injuring four other people.

Ms De Los Rios previously revealed that her brother was recovering in hospital after sustaining a deep wound to his hand.

'It's a very long process to get his hand recovered, due to this wound,' she said, adding: 'He's awake, he's in hospital,' but 'he lost a lot of blood' and 'it's going to be a really long, traumatising recovery for him.
