A 29-year-old man was stabbed to death in a South London park last night (Friday, December 30). The victim was killed in Peckham Rye Park, with police and an ambulance called to the scene at 8.24pm.


Despite paramedics' best efforts, he died at the scene shortly after 9pm. His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

We also heard the helicopter last night. On Thompson Road, a man was being chased by armed police. He was dropped to the floor and kept there with 1 armed police officer. All the blacked out police cars left in a rush to go somewhere else. I don't know how long they were alone there together but must have been about an hour, if not longer. Was quite scary
The foot chase started at the lordship lane end of landells road. We heard a commotion then an armed officer running down the road, shouting to stop and get down. Unsure how many people they were chasing. A car had been boxed in by 3 marked and unmarked police cars right by the launderette. That stayed there with an officer for about 2 hours.

The peace vigil mentioned above for Kalabe Legesse is being organised by St Antony & St Silas and led by the vicar as the common/park is in the parish.

I did think the helicopter might be linked to the Kingswood Estate stabbing last night?

As a follow up to this: 

"Four men have been jailed for a knife attack in Dulwich which left the [18 yo] victim with over 60 stab wounds...South Londoners Tashan Bailey-Brown, 23, Denzel Ealmeida, 22, Darren Soyemi, 25, and Kevaniel Perkins-Robinson, 21, were jailed for a total of 117 years for attempted murder."

Sounds like amazing work by London Ambulance Service to keep this kid alive, and police and prosectors for a quick arrest and successful prosecution. Also worth acknowledging journalist Herbie Russell pf the Southwark News for covering the beginning and end of the story. But overall there is nothing to celebrate here.

I second that MRSR, what a waste of a young life yet again due to knife crime and people thinking it's ok to stab somone just for a phone,  the sentences they received still not long enough , the young mans family have life sentences .

"officers were able to trawl CCTV to retrace the suspects to their shared home. Both were arrested on suspicion of murder on January 19, 2023."

"During a search of Nyran Thomas's home and his nan's bedroom, they found a sheathed black handled hunting knife wrapped in a Black puffer jacket. Forensics later confirmed traces of Kalabe's blood inside the sheath of the murder weapon. Both attackers were charged on January 21, 2023 and were remanded into custody."

We hear so many stories about police not dealing with crimes quickly enough or at all, so it's nice to read they've done a really good job finding the suspects and all the evidence needed to charge them in just a few days.

    • Don’t know about cafes but the Victoria and Montpelier pubs always have always encouraged people working during the day.
    • Thank you Saied for the amazing work! I will see you in a few months.
    • If you care about the decline in the swift population please support the lovely Hannah Bourne-Taylor in her campaign to mandate 'swift bricks' in all new properties   From her website: What are swift bricks? Zero maintenance and sustainable, swift bricks are bricks that sit flush to the wall that provide a cavity nesting habitat for swifts and other cavity nesting birds. Surveys show species include House martins, starlings, House sparrows, nuthatch, blue tit, coal tit and wren. Why swift bricks are urgently and uniquely essential Without swift bricks there is no guaranteed nesting habitat for birds reliant on building cavities anywhere in the UK – and there never will be. We are inadvertently destroying their oldcavity nesting sites through renovation, demolition and insulation, while climate mitigation measures mean modern buildings will never provide natural homes for birds. https://hannahbournetaylor.com/ Don't be such a pompous bore. She is doing something to improve the world around us, what does it matter what social class she is from? The despicable Michael Gove offered support then did nothing. The current government, despite supposed concern for the environment, also failed to support the campaign. She took the trouble to write back to me when I asked a question. But carry on poking fun at honourable people while our surroundings decay.
