A homeless man has been found stabbed to death in a south London car park
Ion Radu, 46, was found dead in Homelands Drive, not far from Crystal Palace park, by a member of the public shortly before 9.30 on Thursday morning.
He had an injury to his liver that police believe to be a stab wound. Officers have launched an investigation, but no one has been arrested so far. Detective Chief Inspector Sal Minhas, who is leading the investigation, said: "I am very keen to hear from anyone who saw Ion in the 48 hours before he died.
"We think that Ion may have been homeless, and potentially vulnerable. We think he was a familiar face in the area, and may have engaged with local people."Did you know Ion? Did you see him recently, either on his own or in the company of someone else? If you spoke to him, was he worried or upset about anything?
