A £20,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the St.Valentine’s Day killer of a local man stabbed to death near Crystal Palace Football Club.
Mark Corcoran, 26, (pictured) stumbled into Subitha Food and Wine shop, Whitehorse Lane, Selhurst at 8.20pm on February 14 asking for help moments before he collapsed.
An ambulance was called, but tragically Mark, who had been stabbed in the chest, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers would still like to speak to anyone who may have seen or spoken with Mark on Valentine's Day.
They would also like to hear from anyone who was in the area of the Crystal Palace football ground - there had just been an FA Cup football match (CrystalPalace vs Aston Villa).
An incident room was opened at Lewisham under Detective Chief Inspector Cliff Lyons of the Homicide and Serious Crime Command.
DCI Lyons said: “We still do not know why Mark was stabbed that night.
“He was wearing a distinctive black and white stripey top that night and would have struggled to walk the 100 yards to the shop.
“Lots of people were around that evening, either out celebrating Valentine's day or at the football match, we would like to hear from these people no matter how insignificant their information may seem, if may assist us with finding out what happened to Mark.”
Any witnesses or anyone with information should call the incident room on 020 8721 4961.
If you wish to remain anonymous please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
