Father and son killed in London stabbing were named as Terry McMillan, 58, and his 27-year-old son Brendan. The attack occurred Monday afternoon on Long Lane in Bermondsey, where both victims were fatally wounded near their property development business. Police arrested a 31-year-old suspect who remains hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. A fourth man, in his 30s, fights for life in care. The Metropolitan Police confirmed the stabbing appears targeted, with the suspect briefly entering a nearby hotel before arrest.
The McMillans were pillars of their community, with Terry founding the successful Trademark Group in 1998. Brendan, remembered as “forever smiling” by his rugby club, played for Old Colfeians, where his father was a longtime sponsor. Club members posted an emotional tribute: “Brendan lit up every room. We’ll always carry his memory.” The family charity, McMillan Family Trust, works to uplift disadvantaged youth across communities.
Father and son killed in London stabbing died just after 1 PM near Trademark Homes’ offices. Local MP Neil Coyle confirmed the incident was isolated but shocking for the area. One shaken resident said: “I walk past there all the time – it makes you feel really uneasy.” Forensic teams combed the scene Tuesday as Det Ch Supt Emma Bond promised a swift investigation.
Authorities continue piecing together motives behind the violent attack. Specialist officers support grieving relatives while detectives question the hospitalized suspect. The tragedy marks another grim milestone in London’s knife crime epidemic. As floral tributes grow at the scene, colleagues remember Terry as a visionary entrepreneur and Brendan as a beloved teammate whose laughter filled locker rooms. The Met urges witnesses to come forward with any information about Monday’s events.
