A 50-year-old Christian has become the 19th homicide victim in Sadiq Khan’s London this month.
David Potter was found stabbed to death in his flat above an Asian off-licence in Tooting by police on Monday afternoon, the
Evening Standard reports.
Thought to be the eleventh homicide victim in the British capital in a fortnight, Mr. Potter is said to have been a regular churchgoer, and often took in homeless people to stay with him after having spent some time as a rough sleeper himelf in 2003.
“He was a good man. There was never a problem,” commented a worker at the off-licence he lived above.
The homeless population has exploded in recent years, driven in large part by migrants from the European Union and the wider world, who make up nearly a third and over one-tenth of the total,
respectively.
EU homeless have become more difficult to remove recently after courts ruled deportations could violate the migrants’ Free Movement rights.
