A 37-year-old man has been charged with stabbing to death university lecturer Daniel Young in Morden.

Mark Loveridge from Mitcham will appear at Bromley Magistrates' Court tomorrow accused of murder.

Loveridge was also charged with causing grievous bodily harm to a 23-year-old man stabbed in the buttocks earlier on the same morning.

Mr Young, 30, was knifed in Kendor Gardens on the morning of January 19 as he walked towards Morden Tube station.

Ambulance crews pronounced him dead at the scene and a post mortem examination gave the cause of death as a stab wound.

He had been just two days into a new job at the London campus of Coventry University when he was killed.

His LinkedIn page said he had worked his way up through the hospitality industry before completing a master's degree in international hospitality management.

Mr Young's brother paid tribute to his sibling in the days after his death.

He wrote on Facebook: "Just so proud of everything you achieved in your life, places you travelled, friends you made. You are inspirational big bro."

Detectives have been appealing for witnesses since his death and anyone with information is urged to call the incident room on 020 8721 4961 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
