Stabbing death in Downham: George David, 16, wanted by police

George David should not be approached by members of the public, police say

A 16-year-old boy has been named as a murder suspect after a man was stabbed in south-east London.

Officers want to speak to George David about the killing of Gabriel Petrov Stoyanov, 21, in Downham on November 4.

The teenager, from Downham, has links to both Bromley and Orpington, the Met Police said.

He should not be contacted by members of the public, the force said. Police believe he may be “hidden or moved by people he knows”.

‘Fullest extent of the law’

Det Ch Insp Kelly Allen said: “Two arrests have been made as part of our investigation but we urgently need to speak to George David. George, my message directly to you is that you need to attend a police station immediately.”

She said anyone “working to frustrate” police investigations “should be very aware of the trouble you could be getting yourself into”.

Det Ch Insp Allen added: “We will seek to arrest and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.”

The murder investigation began after Mr Petrov Stoyanov was stabbed in Bromley Road shortly before midnight. He was taken to hospital but died the following afternoon.

A 17-year-old boy who was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of murder remains in custody, as does a 14-year-old boy who was arrested on Tuesday.
