Officers were called near to the Dene entrance of the park at 9.49pm to reports of a man with a stab injury.

Despite the best efforts of emergency services he died at the scene.

All entrances to the park were closed off as forensics worked at the scene.

A post-mortem examination established cause of death as blood loss following a stab wound to the arm.

Police say they had contact with Milton earlier in the day before his death, the circumstances of which are unclear.

As a major investigation into the murder continues, the Metropolitan Police have confirmed that detectives will be returning to the scene of the crime this evening, one week on from the murder.

“Our investigation continues to make progress and arrests have been made but we still need your help. If you were there and saw or heard anything suspicious, or have information that could assist our investigation then please get in touch.

“The charity Crimestoppers, is offering a significant reward of up to £20,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for Milton’s murder – to be eligible for that reward you need to contact them.”
