A man has been fatally stabbed outside a nightclub sparking a murder investigation. The incident occurred shortly before 4am this morning (Monday, 6 April) on Ruby Street, following what officers have termed a ‘disturbance’ outside a nightclub.
The 26-year-old was declared dead at the scene. His next-of-kin have been informed. Two additional victims, both in their twenties, were discovered wounded at the location and are currently battling for their lives in hospital. Police have not disclosed the nature of their injuries.
Four men – one aged 18 and three aged 24 – were detained earlier on suspicion of murder and remain in custody on Monday afternoon, reports MyLondon.
Detective Chief Inspector Neil John said: “This is a deeply tragic incident, and our thoughts are with the victim’s family during this difficult time. We have already arrested four men and our investigation continues at pace.
“We are aware of the concern that this will cause the local community and those in the area will notice an increased police presence throughout the day.”
“This assault occurred outside a busy nightclub, and we’d encourage anyone who has any information, dashcam or mobile phone footage which could support the investigation to contact us.”
Anyone with information or footage is urged to ring police on 101, quoting CAD 1033/6APR, or contact the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
