Double murder in south east London - New Cross

[TJS]

Another horrific icndent practically on our doorsteps

"The bodies of two men were discovered when firefighters were called to a blaze in a ground floor flat in New Cross on Sunday night. The victims, both French nationals in their 20s, were stabbed in the head, neck and chest, post-mortem tests have revealed. Officers have launched a double murder inquiry and have appealed for information.

Emergency services were called to the building in Sterling Gardens at around 10pm. The fire was put out and the bodies found in the flat. Police have identified the men but their names have not been released.

Detective Chief Inspector Mick Duthie said: "I am appealing for anyone who was in the area of Sterling Gardens at any time over the weekend, and who may have seen or heard anything suspicious near the address, to get in touch.

"I am particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have seen anyone near the premises around 21.30 on Sunday.""

These poor young men, come to this Country to study and end up murdered in the most horrific way. My thoughts are with their family.

Again, we know nothing about the case so speculation is pointless. What we can say for certain is that it wasn't the Krays wot done it. Which is a shame because murder was sooo much better then

Moved to the Lounge as it is not East Dulwich specific.

This really disturbed me today, the evil bastard seemed to take real enjoyment in committing such a heinous act stabbing one of his victims over 200 times.

I don't really get freaked out easily, but this is pretty horrible.

Why would anyone feel the need to stab someone so many times?

The last time I felt quite so grim about something on the news was when that Austrian girl was found in her dad's cellar.

I find it hard to come to terms with that level of sickness in people, because I am always an optimist and believe everyone has some redeeming feature.

I would like to know why.

Can someone please explain something to me?..A white Guy was seen running away from the scene of the crime so we have something to go on to catch this monster,which can only be good.However although the killer of Dee Willis may be known to the Police and we know it was a Female there is still no description.Why is this?...Is it the fact that as they do know there is no need to publicise the description?

[????]

Er....I think it's because the Police know who the suspect is for the latter so they don't need to issue a description...

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

But that doesn't satisfy his salacious appetite quids

[ratty]

Has to be the case that old bill know who killed Dee Wilson.

The New Cross one disturbs me - have driven past there twice this week and it is eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery! :(
