Two hours after this birthday photo was taken 32 year-old Paul Gunner was killed outside a Bexley kebab shop when punched to the ground during a row with three men.
Police have arrested three suspects on suspicion of murder, but continue to appeal for witnesses to what happened at 1.00am on October 16 in Bourne Road.
Three white males approached Paul and after the altercation fled on foot in the direction of Gravel Hill – leaving him dying on the ground
Detectives are also keen to hear from anyone who witnessed a separate incident where a man was assaulted outside the same venue approximately 10 minutes earlier.
It is believed the suspects threw chips at a blonde woman and a man who intervened was punched.
Detectives are still appealing for that man and the blonde woman to come forward, or anyone who may have witnessed this event.
Detective Inspector Rick Murphy said: “It’s tragic that Paul Gunner would go out to celebrate his birthday and not return.
“A happy event has been turned into a painful one for friends and family of Paul who are still shocked and devastated by his death.
“I cannot stress how important it is for anyone who was in the area that night and who may have witnessed the assault on Paul or the earlier incident to contact the police.
“I would like to reassure anyone concerned about coming forward that they will be treated with the utmost sensitivity.”
Anyone with information is asked to called the Incident Room on 020 8721 4868 or if you wish to remain anonymous contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Late on Sunday October 16 three men aged 31; 32 and 25 were arrested on suspicion of murder.
They were bailed to return to a south London police station to a date this month.
