The father-of-two was pronounced dead at the scene.
After the attack Barangu Gulbudak called police to tell them he had killed his father and he was arrested that evening.
He refused to speak during the police interview but was charged with murder.
Subsequent assessments by medical professionals established he had been suffering mental health issues prior to the attack.
Det Insp Domenica Catino of the Met’s Homicide and Major Crime Command said: “Huseyin was a hard-working, family man who had run his café for many years and was a well-known member of the community.
“His murder has understandably left the Gulbudak family devastated.”
