Does not seem to be reported on any of the news channels I have been listening to. Just a common part of London living

not worth a mention.

Terrible. Thoughts go out to friends and family of the victim.

A couple of updates to this terrible event:

 

1) In 2021, two cousins (one from Penge and one from Streatham) were convicted of murder and sentenced to a minimum of 23 years in prison. The Southwark News has a summary of the awful day.

2) Last week, a female prison officer from Forest Hill was sentenced to eight months in prison for pursuing a relationship with one of the two murderers while at HMP Brixton.

Is it possible for someone to change the heading, because it is not clear that this "fatality" has not just happened.

I'm not sure that the OP still posts on here.
