A young actor who has a small role in the upcoming Harry Potter movie was stabbed to death in a bar fight.
18-year old Rob Knox, who appears as Marcus Belby in the upcoming Harry Potter film, The Half-Blood Prince, died after being stabbed outside the Metro Bar in Sidcup. Three others were also stabbed in the incident and a fourth was slashed across the face.
According to reports, Knox was trying to defend his 16-year old brother, Jamie. The 21-year old man who suffered facial injuries has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Police say they do not believe the incident was gang-related, but do not have a motive or explanation for the attack.
Some reports suggest two men came into the bar, one armed with knives, when the altercation began. It soon spilled into the street, where the actual stabbings occurred. These attacks took place just two weeks after another local youth was killed, and only yards from the store that youth's parents own. Further, Knox was the other victim's former rugby teammate. The murders have not been connected at this time.
