Another horrific icndent practically on our doorsteps


"The bodies of two men were discovered when firefighters were called to a blaze in a ground floor flat in New Cross on Sunday night. The victims, both French nationals in their 20s, were stabbed in the head, neck and chest, post-mortem tests have revealed. Officers have launched a double murder inquiry and have appealed for information.


Emergency services were called to the building in Sterling Gardens at around 10pm. The fire was put out and the bodies found in the flat. Police have identified the men but their names have not been released.


Detective Chief Inspector Mick Duthie said: "I am appealing for anyone who was in the area of Sterling Gardens at any time over the weekend, and who may have seen or heard anything suspicious near the address, to get in touch.


"I am particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have seen anyone near the premises around 21.30 on Sunday.""

I don't really get freaked out easily, but this is pretty horrible.


Why would anyone feel the need to stab someone so many times?


The last time I felt quite so grim about something on the news was when that Austrian girl was found in her dad's cellar.


I find it hard to come to terms with that level of sickness in people, because I am always an optimist and believe everyone has some redeeming feature.


I would like to know why.

Can someone please explain something to me?..A white Guy was seen running away from the scene of the crime so we have something to go on to catch this monster,which can only be good.However although the killer of Dee Willis may be known to the Police and we know it was a Female there is still no description.Why is this?...Is it the fact that as they do know there is no need to publicise the description?

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
