A father-of-one fatally stabbed by a row of shops has been described as a ‘pillar of kindness’ and the ‘heartbeat of his family’.

Sanchini Thompson, 27, was taken to hospital after being attacked in Rushey Green, Lewisham at 3am on Wednesday.

Sanchini was treated for multiple stab wounds but died later in hospital.

Sanchini’s family said: ‘In loving memory of a son, a father, and a cherished friend, our hearts are heavy as we remember a man whose presence brightened every room he entered.

‘At just 27, he was already a pillar of kindness, a devoted father to his beloved four-year-old daughter, and the heartbeat of his family.

‘He gave freely of himself sharing his time, his laughter, to bring joy to others, always prioritising the happiness and well-being of those around him.’
