A man has been charged with murder over the death of a young father, who was stabbed to death in south east London.

Danny Pearce, 31, was attacked on July 15, 2017, while walking with his girlfriend in Greenwich. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as multiple stab wounds, but police also found gunshot grazing and evidence of at least four shots fired in his direction.

David Egan, 23, of Ashmead Road, will appear in custody at Bromley Magistrates' Court on Saturday, charged with murder.

He is further charged with possession of a firearm, robbery and possession of an offensive weapon.

He is also charged with two further robberies - which took place on 11 July 2017 and 13 July 2017 - as well as possession of an offensive weapon and having an imitation firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence.

A 26-year-old man was previously found guilty of murdering Mr Pearce. Jordan Bailey-Mascoll was sentenced to life imprisonment in July 2018 with a recommendation that he serve at least 35 years.
