Two men who died after central London stabbing named as father and son
Terry McMillan, 58, from Chislehurst, Bromley, was pronounced dead at the scene after reports of multiple stabbings inside a commercial property in Long Lane, Southwark, the Metropolitan Police said.
His son, Brendan McMillan, 27, later died in hospital.
Two other men were treated for stab wounds and taken to hospital, police said previously.
Earlier on Tuesday, police said a 31-year-old man, who is a British citizen and was initially detained in connection with the incident, was arrested on Monday on suspicion of murder.
He remains in hospital and his condition is not life-threatening, they added.
Emergency services were called to Long Lane in Southwark at about 1pm on Monday and found four people with stab wounds.
Police reiterated that the incident took place inside a business premises, and that a crime scene is in place at a nearby hotel the arrested man entered.
Speculation that the man was staying at the hotel is not accurate, the force said.
Detective Chief Superintendent Emma Bond, who leads policing for the area, said: 'Our investigation is in the early stages and we are working hard to understand the full circumstances of this shocking incident.
'At this point, we do not believe it to be terrorism-related, and there is no further risk to the public.
'There will be a heavy police presence in the area throughout today, and I would encourage anyone with information to speak with officers or contact the Met by other means.'
Anyone with information can also call 101 or report it online, quoting CAD3499/28.

Today in History: Deadly Walmart shooting in El Paso
Advertisement In 1775, 250 years ago, General George Washington convened a war council with his top generals in Cambridge. Washington and the others were stunned to learn how desperate the rebel forces were for gunpowder. He had thought they had 450 or so casks; there were only about 38. 'The General was so struck, that he did not utter a word for half an hour,' General John Sullivan wrote to the New Hampshire Committee of Safety.
