A rugby player in Blackheath who was stabbed to death along with his dad at their family business in Bermondsey has been pictured for the first time.
Brendan McMillan and his 'beloved' dad Terry were named yesterday (July 29) as the victims of a quadruple stabbing in Long Lane on Monday (July 28).
Police were called to a business on Long Lane around 1pm where Terry, 58 from Chislehurst, died at the scene.
Three people were taken to hospital including 27-year-old Brendan, who later passed away.

'Brendan lit up every room he walked into, forever smiling, always cracking a joke and always full of life. His absence will be deeply felt for a long time to come. We will miss him more than words can say and we'll always carry his memory with us.
'We are also mourning the loss of his beloved father, Terry, a long-time supporter and sponsor of the club.
'Our thoughts and prayers are with their family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.'

Police reiterated that the incident took place inside a business premises.
Two other people were injured in the attack with one facing life-threatening injuries.
Earlier on Tuesday, police said a 31-year-old man, who is a British citizen and was initially detained in connection with the incident, was arrested on Monday on suspicion of murder.
A crime scene is in place at a hotel nearby where the man entered.
Speculation that the man was staying at the hotel is not accurate, the force said.
