Man Murdered In Sydenham
Police have launched a murder inquiry following the death of a man in Sydenham.
Samuel Guidera, 24, was found on Saturday collapsed in the street at Bailey Place, junction with Newlands Park, in south east London.
He was taken by London Ambulance Service to a south London hospital suffering from a stab wound. He was later pronounced dead. Next-of kin-have been informed.
A post-mortem examination will be scheduled in due course.
Samuel was a student of history and politics at the University of Greenwich and was hoping to become a teacher. He worked at a local supermarket to support his studies.
An incident room has opened under the Homicide and Serious Crime Command.
Detective Chief Inspector John McFarlane, said: "Mr Guidera had spent the day watching football with friends. He travelled on the 21:17 train from Bickley to Penge East. We are keen to speak with anyone who remembers seeing him either on the train or getting off just after 21:30.
"Mr Guidera, who was carrying a pink T-mobile carrier bag, crossed the footbridge over the railway to the Newlands Park exit en route to meet a friend. He went into the local convenience store before walking towards the bus stop on Newlands Park where he was attacked. We are considering a number of possibilities, but believe this may have been a robbery. There would have been a number of people in the area and we are keen to speak with them."
