A 20-YEAR-OLD man who was stabbed to death at a party in Mottingham yesterday has been named locally as Harold Blacks.

The youth, who was also known as Haych, was stabbed in a flat in Kingsley Wood Drive at around 3pm yesterday afternoon.

Emergency services were called to the scene but they could not save him and he was pronounced dead at around 3.50pm.

He is said to have been a student at Bexley College studying business and was hoping to go on to university next year.

Before attending Bexley College he is thought to have gone to Crown Woods College in Eltham and Timbercroft Primary School in Plumstead.

Haych's friends have been posting their tributes to him on social networking sites, including one on his Twitter feed which reads: "r.i.p shuldnt even be saying dis really ul be missed and allways loved sleep tight harold."

Officers suspect it remains somewhere in south-east London.
