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.

Some good points are made on this thread:

Although it seems (and of course is) worrying, the situation is not much different than it has always been in London.


We hear about it more now because of forums like this, and other media.

we in east dulwich must get together and put pressure on the local police to do something about the Knife crime and the Muggings that are taking place daily .the police seems to be sleeping god forbid if a police man is attacked they seem to find the person very quickly ???????? please get organised and lets do something .put pressure on local politicians too.what ever i can do i will.

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.

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
