A man has been charged with murdering a father and son after a stabbing at a business in south London.
Terry McMillan, 58, and Brendan McMillan, 27, from Chislehurst, Bromley, both died after reports of multiple stabbings inside a commercial property in Long Lane, Southwark, at around 1pm on July 28.
Terry, who left school with no qualifications and rose to become director of the Trademark Property Group, died at the scene.
Brendan, a talented prop for Blackheath Rugby Football Club who had represented Jamaica, later died in hospital from stab wounds.
Two other men were treated for stab wounds by emergency services and taken to hospital.
Hassan Cevik, 31, of Mount Pleasant Lane, Hackney, was arrested on July 28 before being taken to hospital, the Metropolitan Police said.
He was discharged from hospital on Saturday and charged with two counts of murder on Sunday.
Paying tribute to Brendan McMillan, the director of Jamaica Rugby Football Union, said “his sudden loss leaves a void impossible to fill – in the scrum, in the changing room, in the hearts of all who played with him and to the whole Rugby family”.
Hughton Campbell told the Standard: “The Jamaican rugby community has been left in profound sadness and disbelief following the tragic and untimely passing of Brendan McMillan.
“He was at the heart of all entertainment and team bonding off the pitch. He wore the shirt with immense pride and will be sorely missed.”
Floral tributes for the pair, who were named locally, were left at a gate opposite the business. One note paying their respects to Brendan, a University of Gloucestershire graduate, read: “To our friend and family, you are a special person, loyal, loving, caring and positive. You love as long as you’re remembered. You will never be forgotten on or off the pitch.”
Cevik was also charged with grievous bodily harm relating to a third 47-year-old man, and possession of an offensive weapon, the force said.
He will appear before Croydon Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
