A SECURITY guard has spoken of his desperate attempt to save a man who was found hanged in a park beauty spot.


Two dog walkers discovered the body of the man, who has not been named by police, hanging from the rafters of a wooden shelter in the serene Japanese gardens in Peckham Rye Park at around 5.30am on Tuesday.


Sikiru Raji, 40, of Kingdom Security Services Ltd, was guarding the nearby Peckham Rye Cafe building site.


He said: "Two women came up with their dogs and called me over to the park. They said there was a man who wanted to hang himself.


"I jumped the fence into the park and ran up to the shelter

    • Just read this posting about the Blue Brick Cafe which I supported when they first applied to open. I Spoke out for them in front of three councillors because the council didn't want a cafe to continue there in a residential area. What a joy it has been seeing them there ever since and I though that it was the owner, Daniel, who had stopped putting the tables outside himself. Sorry to learn that it was Southwark Council putting a damper on things. I never noticed those table blocking the whole pavement and I live nearby and walk past regularly. One local, newly arrived resident in Fellbrigg Road tried the block the expansion of he North Cross Road street market some years ago - shame how some people have their own biased views. Sound like a bit of a situation up at the EDT though. Cheers!
    • Odd request but would love if available. anything 12-16mm
    • As a regular buggy pusher I've found the people on the kerb to be nothing like louts or yobs, but actually very friendly people who move when they see you or realise you are trying to pass.  May I suggest a smile and a hello to engage with your neighbours rather than labelling them all louts
    • There were a couple of incidents (pre pandemic) of possibly contaminated meat being left on Peckham rye. I remember having a conversation with one of the gardeners. Always best to be cautious
