A MAN has been charged with murder after a dad and son were stabbed to death at a family business.
Hassan Cevik, 31, was arrested on Monday, July 28, after police were called to reports of multiple stabbings at a business unit in Bermondsey, south-east London, at 1pm the same day.
Emergency services attended the scene and treated four people for stab wounds, including rugby star Brendan McMillan, 27, and his dad Terry, 58.
However, despite the best efforts of paramedics, Brendan tragically died at the scene while Terry died shortly afterwards in hospital.
Cevik was also taken to hospital before being discharged yesterday.
Today, he was charged with two counts of murder as well as a Section 18 grievous bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon.
Following the tragic deaths of Brendan and Terry, the 27-year-old’s rugby club paid an emotional tribute to their former star.
Jamaica UK Rugby wrote: “Yesterday, Old Colfeians lost a member of our family, one of the kindest, funniest, most genuine people you could ever meet.
“Brendan lit up every room he walked into, forever smiling, always cracking a joke and always full of life.
“His absence will be deeply felt for a long time to come. We will miss him more than words can say and we’ll always carry his memory with us.
“We are also mourning the loss of his beloved father, Terry, a long time supporter and sponsor of the club.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with their family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.
“Rest in peace, Brendan McMillan.
“Rest in peace, Terry McMillan.”
