       Damarie Omare Roye was discovered with stab wounds two days earlier on Bensham Manor Road, Croydon.

       The police are appealing for anyone who witnessed the event to come forward.

       In particular, they are looking for a dark moped which could have been “concealed, abandoned, parked or even being ridden around” Thornton Heath, around the time of the attack.

       The investigation is being led by Deputy Chief Inspector Kate Blackburn.

       She said: “Damarie was a young man who was popular among those that knew him.

       “His death has caused unimaginable devastation to his family and friends.

       “We believe that Damarie may have been riding a blue mountain bike before the attack.

       “Anyone who may have seen him in the area - with or without the bike - or who witnessed the attack, is urged to get in touch with the police.”
