A killer remains on the loose after a man was stabbed to death in Clapham in the early hours of Sunday morning (September 29).
Police were called to reports of a large gorup fighting with knives on Wandsworth Road at around 4.05am.
At the scene three people were found suffering with stab wound injuries.
One of the three, a 24-year-old man, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The other two men, who are both aged in their 20s, were taken to hospital – one with serious injuries and one with injuries not deemed life-threatening.
Detective Chief Inspector Stephen Payne, said: “One man has lost his life and two others have been treated in hospital for their injuries.
“My team has been working around the clock to establish what happened and our enquiries remain ongoing.
“I am today appealing for anyone who was in the area of Wandsworth Road in the early hours of Sunday to come forward and speak with us. It is possible that you may have seen something that can help us identify those responsible.
“I would also ask that people check their dash cam or any private CCTV to see if you captured any part of the attack, or anyone running away.”
Chief Superintendent Seb Adjei-Addoh said: “Our thoughts are with the family of the young man who has lost his life in the most tragic of circumstances.
“We are working closely with our colleagues to ensure that arrests are made as quickly as possible.
“I know the local community will be shocked by these events. You can expect to see officers in the area and I would encourage anyone with concerns, or information, to please speak with them.”
