A murder investigation is under way following the death of a man in a house fire in Streatham.

Police were called to the multi-occupancy house in Glenister Park Road by the London Fire Brigade at just after 7pm on Sunday.

A 49-year-old man was found dead inside the property. His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by family liaison officers.

The fire is thought to have been started deliberately and is being treated as suspicious. Further enquiries are taking place.

Fifteen-year-old Henning Morgan, from the Dunraven School in Leigham Court Road, Streatham, was crowned winner of the Regional Final of the Jack Petchey’s “Speak Out Challenge”.

Streatham RedHawks secured an historic fourth NIHL 1 South league title in a row after defeating Romford Buccaneers 4-1 on Sunday night, writes Christopher Beal.

Streatham have booked a return to the national play-off final in April, against the winners of the northern section.

Buccaneers netminder Sonny Phillips and his defence endured a storm of shots in the first period, with Streatham possibly feeling the effects of a hard-fought 3-0-win in Slough the night before.

Streatham only require two points from their remaining five games to seal a fourth NIHL 1 South title in a row, writes Christopher Beal.

The South Londoners came away with a single point from Saturday’s 3-2 overtime home loss to Slough Jets.

Streatham took a 2-0 lead in the opening period of the game through Ben Ealey-Newman and Ziggy Beesley. JJ Pitchley had his face busted open in a collision with a Jets player, leading to him making a trip to A&E for treatment.

Prodigal monster will focus on the positive impact that rehabilitative services.

Streatham secured a four-point weekend as they followed up a 4-2 win over Solent Devils with a 14-1 home win over MK Thunder on Sunday, writes Christopher Beal.

It took just 18 seconds for Streatham to open the scoring against Thunder as Jared Lane scored with the first shot on net of the game.

The RedHawks were 6-0 up after the first period with Lane netting a second before Ben Paynter, Ryan Watt and JJ Pitchley (two) also got on the scoresheet.

Streatham changed their netminder in the second period with youngster Dylan Phillips swapped in for Danny Milton.

The six men were first charged in December 2017, but charges were dropped early.

The Conservatives have picked an assistant headteacher as their Prospective Parliamentary Candidate (PPC) for Streatham and Croydon North ahead of the general election.

Anthony Boutall is assistant headteacher at an Orpington school and lives in Croydon with his wife and daughter, having previously lived in Crystal Palace.

Previously, Anthony served as a councillor in Bedford, during which time he secured major road repairs, successfully campaigned against councillor pay increases and led a local task force tackling antisocial behaviour.

The prosecution said Mrs Payne provided facilities for prostitutes at her home.

Streatham secured a spot in the NIHL 1 South Challenge Cup final with a 7-4 win on aggregate over Invicta Dynamos last weekend, writes Christopher Beal.

RedHawks battled through having a short bench in Gillingham to emerge from the first leg with a 3-2 victory.

Tomasz Skokan opened the scoring for the RedHawks in the first period with a powerplay goal and Ziggy Beesley added a second eight minutes into the second period.

Dynamos then got on the scoreboard through Sam Oliver and former Redhawk Tom Soar.
