A man in his 60s accused of killing someone with a knife at a London market.
In East Street, Walworth, a team of forensic officers were seen gathering evidence at a bustling market. The atmosphere was shaken by a tragic incident that occurred on the morning of Remembrance Sunday. A 66-year-old man has been charged with murder and attempted murder after a stabbing that left three people seriously injured.

One of the victims, 77-year-old Hilkiah McLeggan from Southwark, tragically lost his life at the scene. A market stall holder who tried to comfort him shared with The Sun the harrowing details of the attack, describing how there was blood everywhere and the victim's last words were, "I am gone. It's the end of my life." The other two victims were rushed to the hospital and are still receiving treatment, with one of them in critical condition.

The market was immediately cordoned off by the police, and the suspect was held by brave market traders until the authorities arrived. The man was then arrested and led away in handcuffs. Nihad Osmam, a 27-year-old fruit stall holder, described the chaos that ensued, with abandoned stalls and a sense of panic among vendors and customers. Another witness, a shop worker, recounted how the assailant was tackled to the ground by courageous market traders after the third victim was attacked.

The suspect, Ali Musse, has been charged with murder and two counts of attempted murder and is due to appear in court later today. The latest news from London includes information on ongoing strikes in the London Underground, a reward being offered for information on a fatal shooting, and a studio flat being rented for £850 with a controversial toilet.

In response to social media posts speculating that the attack was a terrorist incident, the Metropolitan Police have clarified that they do not believe this to be the case. Chief Superintendent Seb Adjei-Addoh addressed the concerns of the local community, stating that there will be an increased police presence in the area to provide reassurance. He also expressed gratitude to the members of the public who assisted the police at the scene.
