‘Black Bloke’ Murders Potter Actor

Harry Potter film actor was murdered over a dispute involving an alleged mobile phone theft, according to a friend of the victim.

Rob Knox (right, with Mum), 18, died in a street attack around 1am on Saturday outside the Metro Bar in Station Road, Sidcup, Kent.

Four other men were also injured. One was stabbed in the head.

A youth, who asked not to be named, said: “I was in the pub with Rob so I know exactly what happened. I was a friend of Rob and his brother Jamie. I wasn’t drinking with them but I see them and I chatted to them during the night before the stabbing.

“One of Rob’s mates had his mobile phone stolen last week and he accused a black bloke in the bar of taking it.

“It was around midnight when this car pulled up outside and I saw two black blokes get out and come into the bar. One of them was shouting something at Jamie and then he threw a chair at him.”
