Detectives have launched an investigation after a man was stabbed to death in Lewisham.
The incident happened on Sunday, 6 September on Thornbeach Road, Lewisham.
Police were called at about 05:33hrs after a 34-year-old man was stabbed on the neck while trying to intervene in a feud between two unidentified men.
An effort by the paramedics to save him was futile as he was pronounced dead at the scene at 06:19hrs.
Detective Chief Inspector Kate Keiran said in a statement on Sunday that the ‘suspect and the victim attended an unlicensed music event at Culvery Road, SE6’ when the incident happened.
The police believed the victim’s name is Sean William. His next of kin have been informed and a post-mortem examination to be held in due course, the police said.
A second man, 37-year-old, self-presented at a south London hospital suffering a knife wound to the hand.
Homicide detectives said his injuries were not life-threatening.
Kieran said “A fight broke out between two men. The victim intervened in this fight and suffered a fatal injury.”
“I know there were around 100 people at the event and someone who was there knows the identity of the person responsible. I want these people to do the right thing and get in touch. I also urge the person responsible to hand themselves to the police,” he appealed.
