Drill rapper Bis, real name Crosslom Davis, 20, pictured, was stabbed to death at 3am today on Bronze Street, SE8. England star Jadon Sancho led tributes to the 20-year-old performer

A drill rapper is believed to be one of three men in their 20s who were stabbed to death in a little over 12 hours of bloodshed in the capital.

England footballer Jadon Sancho, 19, led tributes online to the man identified locally by his stage name 'Bis' - a member of the Harlem Spartans group, based in Kennington, south London.

The Borussia Dortmund winger tweeted: 'Rest up bis,' with a picture of the victim, who detectives are confident is Crosslom Davis, 20.

It was the first of three fatal knifings on London's streets, also including Exauce Ngimbi, 22, in Hackney, east London, and Omani student Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Araimi.

Football ace Sancho was born and raised in Kennington, but signed for Watford when he was seven and moved to north London aged 12 to be nearer the club.

At 14, he signed for Manchester City before moving to Borussia Dortmond aged 17.

Davis was pronounced dead just after 3.30am on Friday in Greenwich, south-east London, about 12 and a half hours before the Hackney killing.

Detective Chief Inspector John Massey, who is leading the investigation into Mr Davis's death, said: 'While we tirelessly work to piece together the events that sadly led to a young man losing his life, I would appeal to those who have information to do the right thing and speak to us.

'If you saw anything out of the ordinary, no matter how insignificant you think it is, then please contact my team as a matter of urgency, as your information could prove vital to our inquiries and could help bring those responsible for this heinous violent act to justice.'

The Harlem Spartans are no strangers to trouble.

Davis's fellow group member Latwaan Griffiths, 18, was murdered in Camberwell, south London in June 2018.

Griffiths, who was known as Splash Addict, or SA, was stabbed several times before he was dumped outside a hospital by being pushed off the back of a moped.

DJ Tim Westwood, 61, has been criticised for promoting the Spartans on his YouTube channel, which was cited in a leaked Metropolitan Police document identifying at least 32 clips which could potentially incite violence.

His channel, which has millions of views, featured the Harlem Spartans several times.

Meanwhile in Hackney police arrested three men, one aged 23 and two aged 26, and a 14-year-old boy, over the murder of Mr Ngimbi.

Detective Chief Inspector Paul Considine said: 'Exauce's family are devastated but I want to assure them, and the wider public, that we will work tirelessly to ensure those responsible for this murder face justice.'

Mr Ngimbi was pronounced dead shortly after 2.30pm Thursday, after an altercation with a group, Scotland Yard said.

Then Omani student Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Araimi, 24, was knifed to death in a suspected robbery near Harrods in Knightsbridge, west London, as he made his way home from a restaurant just after midnight.

He was found unconscious with a stab wound to the back and was pronounced dead at the scene. He has not been formally identified but his family have been told.

Another man, who was with the victim, was also knifed in the attack, which is believed to have been carried out by two males, who detectives believe were trying to steal from them.

He remains in hospital, where his injuries are described as not life-threatening.

Chief Inspector Andy Partridge said: 'It appears that the victims were going home having just attended a nearby restaurant.

'They were approached by two males on Basil Street, at the junction with Pavillion Road. It was here that the two male suspects confronted the victims.

'Although at an early stage, we believe that the victims were approached in order to steal property from them and were attacked during that encounter.

'We retain an open mind concerning the motive for the attack and are pursuing a number of lines of inquiry at a pace.

'I urge anyone who has information concerning this incident to contact my team who are waiting to speak with you. All information will be treated in the strictest confidence.'

The luxury department store was open on Friday, while a crime scene remained in place.

Police vehicles were parked at either end of taped-off Hans Crescent, with a white evidence tent erected in the middle of the street running down the side of the shop.

Commander Jane Connors sought to reassure members of the public following the recent outbreak of bloodshed.

She said: 'Over the past 24 hours there have been three murders in London, in Lower Clapton, Deptford and Knightsbridge.

'These are not linked.

'Each one of these attacks is a tragedy, not just for the victims and their families and friends, but for our wider communities who are left reeling by this senseless violence.

'And the common factor in each one is that someone was willing to carry a knife on the streets of our capital.

'Our highly-experienced teams of detectives and investigators are working relentlessly to determine exactly what happened and bring those responsible to justice.

'Sadly, they are extremely experienced in confronting the aftermath of such terrible acts and I know that they will approach this task with diligence, determination and compassion.

'Tackling violence is the number one priority for the Metropolitan Police.

'Tonight, and over the weekend, residents will see more officers on patrol in the areas where these murders took place as well as other parts of London.

'This highly-visible policing presence will include officers from our reserve units, including the Territorial Support Group, the Violent Crime Task Force and armed units.

'This is in addition to hundreds of local borough officers who are already on the streets as part of their day-to-day duties.

'But police do not work in isolation. We can only tackle violence together and need the help of the public to identify those willing to carry knives or involved in these violent acts.

'We are grateful for those who already have had the courage to speak to us about those they know pose a danger to others.

'It makes our resolve even stronger to provide these grieving families the justice they deserve.

'Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. They are a totally independent charity and you remain anonymous, they never ask your name and they cannot trace your call.'
