A pregnant mum was one of the people killed in a spate of murders over the weekend.

Kelly Mary Fauvrelle, 26, was around eight months pregnant when she was stabbed to death in the early hours of Saturday morning in Thornton Heath, south London.

The baby was delivered and remains in a critical condition but a relative said he was ‘unlikely to survive’.

A man, 29, has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains custody.

Police are also investigating three other separate incidents in the capital.

Police were called at 4.51am yesterday to reports of a fight at Sutherland Walk, in Walworth, but when they arrived no victim could be found.

The victim, 18, is believed to the man who self-presented at a hospital with serious injuries but died at 7.23am.

Three men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

Later police attended Ron Leighton Way and Wakefield Street in East Ham at 11.07pm where they found a man believed to be in his late 20s suffering from stab injuries.

The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Another man in his 50s died following a fight in Coldharbour Lane, Brixton, on Saturday.

Two arrests have been made in connection with the murder in Coldharbour Lane.

Police outside London also launched two murder investigations on the same day after Andre Yan Irwin, 47, died in Llanelli, south Wales, and another man, 27, was killed outside Iceland in Maldon, Essex, after being attacked.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan said police were working around the clock to find those responsible for the deaths.

He tweeted: ‘Violence against women is endemic in society and devastating murders in the home, like this one, show the scale of the problem we face. My prayers are with this innocent child, and with the mother it has so tragically lost.’

The Metropolitan Police added they were working day and night to pursue offenders and take weapons off the street.

According to official statistics, there were 285 fatal stabbings in England and Wales in 2018, the highest level since records began more than 70 years ago.

There have been 67 murders in London in 2019.
