An investigation was opened on Monday by the Homicide and Major Crime Command following the fatal stabbing of Alex Scott on Eltham Road, Lee.

Scott suffered stab wounds to the chest, and was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

The London Ambulance Service alerted police to the incident at around 9.45pm on Sunday.
