This has somewhat freaked me out. And I thought Barnes was a respectable area of London...

On my way to work on the bike today, all traffic was stopped at Barnes common by the Police and flyers handed out. It turns out a body was found in the woods hence the whole area has been cordoned off.

The thing is, very early in the morning a few days ago I heard what sounded exactly like gunshots whilst dozing in bed, about 1/2 mile from where it happened. I remember thinking at the time, that was not fireworks or a skip being dropped, as there were several distinct shots.

I rang the police line with exact details and timing, as I remember looking at the clock at the time, so I hope that info is of some use.

Very scary stuff....I walk our dog in those woods!

My daughters friend tried to save a guy who had been driven into a wall by a car then had his lights punched out (permanently) by a driver in Royston. A man has been charged with his murder and it was all over the local news

I know some people who came down from caxton and saw it outside fatjax and they said they're never coming down again lol. I wasn't there as i live about 5 miles away but apparently it was just a drunken brawl...

I used to live on Westferry Road on the Isle of Dogs and some guy was shot in the head while sitting in his car just outside my block of flats. The BiB came round asking us all if we saw anything.
