Dad-to-be Mikey Brown was serving a suspended sentence for stealing cars and driving dangerously at the time he was fatally stabbed in the Works nightclub in June.

At the time of his death, Mikey, 23, was serving a 12-month suspended sentence for aggravated vehicle taking, driving dangerously and driving while disqualified after being convicted in September last year.

The case appeared at Kingston Crown Court last week for the order to be revoked but bizarrely had to be adjourned for two weeks because the probation service could not prove that Mikey was dead.

During the short hearing on Friday, Her Honour Judge Barnes tersely asked the probation officer in court why no death certificate had been filed, despite it being four months since Mikey's death was front page news.

Judge Barnes added that all that was required was a short visit to the records section at Kingston Register Office.

The probation officer told the judge that she would look into it and the case was adjourned until November 9.

Mikey, whose family live in Aldrich Crescent, New Addington, was killed in The Works nightclub on June 23. Police were called to the nightclub at 2am and Mikey was taken by ambulance to Kingston hospital, where he died shortly after arrival. Mikey, who was due to become a father, clashed with another man in the Boiler Bar area of the club.

His girlfriend Marcie gave birth to a baby boy Romarni within weeks of his death.

It is understood Mikey chose the name for his son before he was killed.

Shaun Greenidge, 19, of Hilary Avenue, Mitcham, was arrested in September and charged with Mikey's murder.

During a short hearing at the Old Bailey, he pleaded not guilty and was remanded in custody.

His two week trial is expected to take place on either April 21 or April 28 next year.
