Fatal Stabbing Shocks Ewell Community
Police have launched a murder investigation after a man in his 20s was fatally stabbed near The Wheatsheaf pub in Ewell. Officers rushed to an alleyway beside the pub on Kingston Road shortly after 3.30pm on Tuesday, 9 December, following reports of a stabbing.
Despite frantic efforts by police, paramedics, and bystanders, the young victim was pronounced dead at the scene. His devastated family have been informed and are receiving support.
