Paul Chadeyron was stabbed to death at the entrance to his flat at Cleveland House in Hackford Road, Stockwell, just after 10.30pm on 29 June 1986.
He was attacked on his doorstep and found dead by neighbours by the entrance to his flat.
He had been a lay preacher and was dedicated to his local church, St Marks, at the Oval and had been there earlier that night.
It was thought that he might have been stabbed by muggers who were enraged that he had no money. He had been stabbed twice in the heart with a seven inch knife which had entered full length.
The Coroner said:
He had been a solicitor, with an office in Brixton Road, and was noted to have regularly defended young blacks in the area and also, ironically, those accused of muggings.
He had been white.
