A man who was stabbed to death in south-east London was a “devoted father”, a “pillar of kindness” and “the heartbeat of his family”, relatives have said.
Sanchini Thompson was taken to hospital after being found with stab wounds in Rushey Green, Catford, at about 03:00 BST on Wednesday. He later died from his injuries.
A post-mortem examination found Mr Thompson died from a stab wound to the chest, the Metropolitan Police said. No arrests have been made.
In a written statement, his family said the father of a four-year-old daughter “gave freely of himself sharing his time, his laughter, to bring joy to others, always prioritising the happiness and wellbeing of those around him”.
