A man stabbed to death in the grounds of a church has been named as Mohamed Kakay.

Detectives believe the 33-year-old, from Bromley, had entered the grounds at the rear of St Giles' Church in Camberwell at around 9am on Saturday.

He was stabbed, but was able to stagger along the path at the side of the church to the front, before collapsing just outside on Camberwell Church Street.

Passers-by gave Mr Kakay first aid until paramedics arrived, but he later died in hospital.

A murder investigation has now been launched.
