A man has been stabbed to death in South London and two men arrested on suspicion of murder, police say. Metropolitan Police were called to reports of a fight at a home on Bondway in Vauxhall just before 6am on Saturday (July 5).
Paramedics treated a man in this 30s for knife injuries, but sadly he died at the scene. The force says a crime scene is in place while police investigate the circumstances.
Detective Inspector Aytac Necati who is leading the investigation said: “Sadly, a man has lost his life in the most horrendous of circumstances. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time.
“We understand the effect this will have on the local community, and will ensure that officers are deployed on reassurance patrols to respond to any questions or concerns.
“Two men have already been arrested. Detectives are working hard to establish the circumstances of what happened. At this time, we are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident.”
