Man arrested in connection with Dulwich Park stabbing


gerry

Recommended Posts

Hi Owen -


I wasn't there and only heard about this on the local social media sites.


However, what would be good is if there is some follow up questions, from reporters like yourself, to the Mayor Sadiq Khan and to the police re: what they are doing to VISIBLY counter knife crime in London.


This seems to have become more commonplace and needs to be addressed. How is it being addressed in terms of education and more police presence?


thanks,

m

Agreed. 100%.


I guess from a press perspective when there's already been 5 fatal stabbings in London this week it doesn rate a mention. Which is pretty shocking and upsetting really...

I just saw that, really worrying ? bringing us towards USA levels, e.g. nine homicides in New York this week.

So sad to hear this. Dulwich Park has always been a place that I felt safe in. There are always dog walkers, cyclists, mums with kids, etc. I truly hope that the person stabbed in the head recovers, and I truly hope that the victim from the ordeal seeks counselling. My thoughts and prayers are with the hero who tried to help.

This is so upsetting and scary esp' as it happened around 1pm with children around! I go jogging around the park often and now I feel hesitant to even go there!


Hope that evil scum is caught asap and my thoughts are with the victim who was stabbed.

I have heard that the Dulwich Park stabbing was committed with a screwdriver, rather than a knife. Has anyone else heard this?


In any case, the chosen weapon feels sort of beside the point, as there are plenty of options available other than knives. The issue is the crime itself, and the resulting violence. I am not familiar with the statistics, but I do wonder whether austerity leads to higher crime generally?

One of the shops this guy used the stolen card was Hardings in Cheltenham Rd, at the top of Peckham Rye on the (eastern) south Nunhead side. Police took prints there on Thu night. Maybe - doubtless not being a mastermind - the attacker lives further towards Brockley.


Like many others I guess, I'm hanging on to see if the victim - Italian, it is said - recovers, and how injured he is.

The numerous London stabbings was mentioned on BBC news last week.

This attack was shocking. Whilst the details in the public domain are still unclear, many of us would try to help a woman being attacked or robbed. But you wouldn't expect someone to try and kill you for it. That someone was prepared to attempt murder to get away with a small amount of cash and perhaps a phone is sickening.


Sending positive wishes to all involved for their recovery.

    • The plans The developer Berkeley Homes have submitted a planning application to redevelop the Aylesham Centre close to the junction of Peckham High Street and Rye Lane, containing Morrison’s supermarket, car park, & petrol station, Aylesham shopping arcade and most of that side of Rye Lane between Hanover Park and Peckham High Street. The application is for a mixed housing, retail, leisure and commercial development, in buildings ranging from 5 to 20 storeys. Impact Local people who have studied the detailed plans think that the development would dominate the historic town centre which has evolved since the 18th century, and would ruin the Conservation Area which was awarded in 2011 'to preserve and enhance its character and appearance'. More than 65% of the homes to be built in this unimaginative over-bearing development will be unaffordable by most people who live in Southwark, and provide inadequate open and green space for this part of Peckham. Need for discussion This is such an important issue for south London that it needs wide discussion before the Council Planning Committee takes its decision (not before next Spring). A free on-line talk and discussion to clarify the heritage issues we all need to think about is being held on Monday 11th November 7-8.30pm. All will be welcome. Please register on this link: https://Defend-Peckhams-Heritage-2024.eventbrite.co.uk There are several other key issues raised by the plans which are being examined in the Aylesham Community Action (ACA) campaign. You can find the link to all that and other useful information here: www.linktr.ee/acapeckham The zoom session is being arranged by Peckham Heritage the local group that has grown from the community work alongside the restoration of nine historic buildings in Peckham High Street through the Townscape Heritage Initiative. We hope that EDF members who value local heritage will be able to attend the session to hear and take part in the discussion, and report back to this topic so the discussion can continue.
    • I did see a few Victoria bound 185's on East Dulwich road around 5pm this evening. Coming from the Rye end and heading toward Goose green
    • I cant quite pinpoint where she is exactly. But currently notice I am not hearing her this evening!! She has a microphone?
