Police have confirmed the identify of a man fatally stabbed in Knightsbridge earlier this week.
The victim has been named as 24-year-old Blue Stevens from Yateley, Hampshire. His next-of-kin are aware and will continue to receive support from specialist officers.
Police were called to Seville Street just before 9.30pm on Wednesday 9th July following reports of a stabbing. Sadly, a man was declared dead at the scene.
Detectives from the Specialist Crime Command, supported by local officers, are pursuing several lines of enquiry and you can expect to see more officers – both uniformed and plain-clothed – on patrol in the area.
No arrests have yet been made.
Investigating reports it was an attempted robbery
Bouquets of flowers, cards and a blue candle were laid at the site for the victim, with one note among the tributes reading: "We are all absolutely devastated without you. You took a piece of my heart with you."
Police launched a murder investigation and have said they were investigating reports the incident was an attempted robbery.
Other tributes at the scene said: "Forever in our hearts. Forever missed", and "May you rest in peace. Pray for the brokenhearted".
The incident happened near luxury hotel The Park Tower Knightsbridge but did not involve any guests or staff, according to a Marriott spokesperson.
The pavement surrounding the hotel and adjacent restaurant Nusr-Et - run by Turkish chef Nusret Gokce, aka "Salt Bae" - was closed off while police investigated.
BCU Commander Christina Jessah, who leads policing in Central West London and the Royal Parks, said: “Our thoughts remain with Blue’s loved ones following this tragic incident and they continue to be supported by specialist officers. They have asked for their privacy as they come to terms with Blue’s death.
“We are working at pace to establish the exact circumstances and advise people avoid speculating while we continue our enquiries.
"We understand the impact this incident has had on the local community and local businesses. That is why we have increased the number of police on patrol in the area and I encourage the public to speak to them if they have any questions or concerns."
