Stabbing in Lebanon Gardens
I'm sorry to report that someone has been stabbed to death in Lebanon Gardens, which is a crescent just off Merton Road in the Wandsworth town part of the constituency.
From the Putney SW15 website:
"The victim, who was black and in his early twenties, died at the scene of the incident in Lebanon Gardens late last night. It is understood he was known to police.
"Two arrests were made of men suspected of causing grievous bodily harm but these men are not being charged in connection with the murder.
"The victim's next of kin have not yet been informed. Detectives from the Homicide and Serious Crime Squad are leading the investigation.
"Road closures are in place while police conduct their inquiries in the area. A police spokesman said it was not known when roads would be reopened."
I'll update this post as and when I know more.
UPDATE: 19:00
The BBC has some more details here.
