We (Lewisham Cyclists/Deptford Folk) held aminutes silence at the Ghost Bike after our community bike workshop today. We run it at the Scout Hut opposite and it seemed wrong to ignore it. A couple came up to us and inquired about the victim. One of them had witnessed the incident, been part of the help and assistance in the street afterwards, but was not aware that the man had died. He was very shocked and we persuaded him to go to the police and say exactly what he had seen. I’m wondering if there were other locals who saw but haven’t given their evidence yet, because they just wandered away once the ambulance had arrived, not wanting to be in the way, as this man had done. Lack of evidence might be one reason they haven’t charged the individual yet. So, get the message out on whatever social media you can, if you know anything, go to the police and tell them what you saw.
