A fifth London murder in just eight days is being probed.

Police say a man in his mid-twenties or early thirties was found with multiple stab wounds in the East End on Monday afternoon following reports of a fight.

He was pronounced dead at the scene in Bethnal Green.

The victim is the fifth man to be killed in the capital in just eight days, four of whom have been stabbed, and it is the sixteenth murder inquiry to be launched by the Met Police this year.

Bright Akinleye, 22, was fatally stabbed in a street near Euston station before staggering into a hotel lobby where he collapsed and died last Monday night.

The following day 69-year-old Brian Wieland, 69, died in a fire at a house in Chingford, east London. A woman has been arrested on suspicion of murder

Glendon Spence, 23, was fatally stabbed at a youth club in Brixton, south London, last Thursday. A teenager has been charged with murder.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
