Dwayne King, 29, is accused of killing 55-year-old Granville Thomas in an alleyway which runs behind Ranelagh Road and Station Road, on June 29.
The married father, who was also known as ‘Rat’ or ‘Blacks’, worked as a mechanic at a garage based in Ranelagh Road.
King, of no fixed address, appeared at the Old Bailey last week.

He said: “I continue to appeal to anyone who may have been in the area as well as witnesses to the stabbing to contact us as soon as possible.”
