Tragedy has struck in Battersea after a 32-year-old man was stabbed to death on Thursday. Metropolitan Police officers and paramedics rushed to Thessaly Road shortly after 12.30pm, where they found the victim suffering from multiple knife wounds. Despite their best efforts to save him, he was pronounced dead at the scene half an hour later.
The victim's family have been informed of his death and a post-mortem examination will be taken. No arrests have been made yet. To investigate the events leading up to the stabbing, the crime scene was cordoned off and forensic tents were erected. Police officers and vans remained at the scene the following day.
News of the incident has been met with grief and shock, with tributes paid and flowers laid near Patmore Estate for the victim, who has been named locally as Theo. Metropolitan Police have appealed for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward. Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley of the Met’s Specialist Crime Command said: ‘If you have information please do get in touch – even details that may seem irrelevant could be important to our investigation.’
Chief Superintendent Roger Arditti expressed his sadness that another life had been ‘needlessly ended by knife crime’, and said there would be a heightened presence of officers in the area over the following days. He said: ‘A family has been devastated by this incident – my thoughts are with them at this sad time.’
