Man Fatally Stabbed in Southwest London, Neighbours Share Shocking Accounts

A tragic incident unfolded in southwest London on Saturday, where a 38-year-old man was found fatally stabbed in the driveway of a semi-detached house on Ellerman Avenue.

Neighbours reported hearing “aggressive shouting” before the man collapsed from his wounds, prompting a swift response from emergency services. Paramedics worked tirelessly at the scene, but the victim was unable to survive.

A crime scene tent now marks the spot where the stabbing occurred, and forensic teams are combing through the area for evidence. The house, located on a quiet suburban street, has been sealed off by police, and a cordon has been placed around the property.

One neighbour recalled hearing the commotion, saying, “We heard aggressive shouting and then the road was full of police and ambulances. There was a man being led away in cuffs a little after. It was a shocking and horrific scene.”

Another added, “The people who live in the house seem really nice. One is in the building trade I think, as there is often a builder’s van outside.” Others expressed disbelief, with one saying, “To wake up to this on your doorstep is horrific. It’s a lovely area, it’s totally not what we expect.”

A 47-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder and remains in custody as the investigation continues.

Detective Chief Inspector Sarah Lee, leading the investigation from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said: “A team of detectives are working to piece together the circumstances that resulted in this tragic incident. Officers will remain in the area throughout the day as they carry out further enquiries and gather evidence. Anyone with concerns or information about what happened should speak to them.”
