[Mr. White]

To sum up, there's a crazed knifeman on the loose but there's no description of him to warn people who to avoid, and a simple "if you see someone who looks like he might be the suspect...".

Brilliant.

[stuarthat]

They are being very coy about the description.

Knives

[Thats What She Said]

Surprised they havent managed to catch him yet.

Especially as...

a witness said:

"Please be vigilant as I just came across a mid 20's, slim build, black beard, bald suspicious man wearing a black track suit walking around our neighbouring field, very sweaty and nervous.

"He walk (sic) to the bottom then stood in the woodland, walk back up. I asked him what he was doing and he said he had an accident?.

"Our road is private and so is the field. He walked off on the phone and didn't want to chat. There was no reason for him to be there!"

She added: "Called police as he's dropped a bloodied hat in a field."

Knifes?!

Seems like they're omitting one rather vital characteristic from the description of the attacker...

[Leonard Stanley]

Absolutely shaking with rage at this one - the victim was with his 14 yr old son.

Utter, utter scum - there's no limit to punishment I'd want to inflict on the killer.

My neck of the woods, the wife works in Horsley and the MIL lives in Clandon.

Happened over 7 hours ago and still no cctv image of the suspect.

Which is?

[Dromedary66]

""The suspect is a black man, in his twenties to thirties, approximately 6ft tall and of slim build with a beard, believed to be dressed all in black with white trainers."

Only took 7 hours.

Geez, hadn't heard he was with his son at the time, it was a brutal killing regardless, it just makes it even more shocking!

[stuarthat]

Just terrible ,seems some people carry and use knives without a care ,with deadly consequences ,the mentality of these savages beggars belief .

[anonymous-user]

The Police description given to prompt people to call them and report it is a slim black male with a beard.

The phone should be busy tonight then...

This latest death is truly troubling. A packed train in broad daylight, with families around.

What is driving this complete disregard for human life?

Knives arent the problem. They are a symptom. You cant ban knives. Even if the Govt somehow did, these animals would find a way around it.

What (if anything) can be done?

I am going to go out on a limb here but i think there is a pretty good chance this asshat has severe mental health issues.

so a joined up well funded mental health service might be a good start

[poo at Paul's]

Coppers had the police helicopter up as it was going dark according to reports...……..what, like 3 hours later then? WTF

Why so little info released on the attacker until this evening?

Agreed

Probably a completely random act of badness from an individual with demons inside their head
Or less likely an alpha grade gangster

Both scenarios impossible to imagine getting involved with as an innocent bystander, and both vanishingly improbable

RIP to the guy who's been murdered, but I dont think this is a common occurrence.
No consolation for his family though.....

Cheers

The attack is confusing too, as they say they both got on at London Road, the attacker got off at Clandon (less than 5 minutes from London Road) and then the man was found stabbed at Horsley (the next stop)

Shocking to hear.

The wife was saying that he was stabbed at or on the way to Clandon, the attacker got off at Clandon and the train continued to Horsley with the stabbed man on the train, I guess the alarm was raised after the attacker got off and it had already started off towards Horsley which is only a matter of minutes away from Clandon, I would imagine it would be better to continue to a station as opposed to stopping somewhere random, in between stations?
