A 77-year-old man who was stabbed to death at a market in Walworth has been pictured for the first time by police. 

Hilkiah McLeggan and two others were found "seriously" injured in East Street at 10.40am on November 10. 

Officers and London Ambulance Service crews attended, however, Hilkiah was pronounced dead shortly after. 

His family are aware and receiving support from specialist officers.

Two other men were taken to hospital and both remain there, with one of them in a critical condition.

Musse Ali, 66, of no fixed abode, has since been charged with one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder.

Ali spoke only to confirm his name and address via a Somalian interpreter, as he appeared at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday. 

The Metropolitan Police has said it was not a terrorist attack and urged the public not to speculate on any potential motive.

The force has thanked “brave members of the public who assisted police at the scene” amid reports that traders tackled and held the suspected knifeman until officers arrived.

District Judge Nigel McLean told Ali, who wore a grey tracksuit as he stood in the dock: “The charges you face are matters that can only be tried in crown court in the main.

“My only function today is to formally send you to the Central Criminal Court where your trial will take place.”

Ali was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on Wednesday for his bail to be determined and on December 10 for a plea hearing.
