Family of man killed in Brixton will 'never recover'

Ronaldo Scott, 21, was found with multiple stab wounds on Morrison Road

"We will never recover from this," a family has said one year after their son was fatally stabbed in south London.

Ronaldo Scott, 21, was found with multiple stab wounds on Morrison Road, Brixton on 4 September 2023.

One year on, his family appealed for witnesses to come forward and help them "get justice", as the Metropolitan Police re-issued CCTV images of two men.

"The last year has been incredibly painful for us as a family," they said.

'Never be the same'

"We lost such a huge part of our family when Ronaldo was murdered.

"Our family will never be the same, we will never recover from this. We are pleading for anyone who can help us to come forward.

"Please help us get justice. Ronaldo, we love you and miss you terribly.”

Mr Scott was found by police officers and the London Ambulance Service with multiple knife wounds on Morrison Road shortly after 12:00 BST.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The force re-issued CCTV images of two men dressed in black they want to speak to in connection with the murder

Det Ch Insp Kate Blackburn, from the Metropolitan Police's specialist crime team, said: “Our thoughts remain with Ronaldo’s loved ones, and we are still committed to bringing Ronaldo’s killers to justice.

“We know there are more people that we still haven’t heard from and we really need those people to get in touch. It is important that we hear from you now."

She added the force had made "significant progress" in its investigation but needed as much evidence as possible to secure a successful conviction.

'Painstaking process'

“If you do not come forward now, then you may prevent a family from securing justice for their son, grandson, brother and uncle," she said.

"We will continue to support Ronaldo’s family throughout this painstaking process.

“If you saw, or have heard anything since, no matter how insignificant you might think it is, please contact us.

"At the very least your information could add certainty to details that we haven’t yet confirmed.

"Please, give a grieving family a chance of securing justice for Ronaldo."
