A man has been charged with the murder of a 31 year-old in London almost three years ago. David Egan, 23, of Deptford, south-east London, was expected to appear in custody at Bromley magistrates court on Saturday charged with the murder of Danny Pearce on 15 July 2017. The Metropolitan police said Egan was also charged with possession of a firearm, robbery and possession of an offensive weapon. All these charges relate to the day of the killing. Egan is further charged with two robberies – on 11 July and 13 July 2017 – along with possession of an offensive weapon and having an imitation firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence. Pearce, from Bromley, died after being repeatedly stabbed in Greenwich, south-east London, on his way home from a night out with his girlfriend at Oliver’s Jazz Club. Police found gunshot grazing and evidence of at least four shots fired in his direction by thieves who were alleged to have demanded his Rolex watch. He was pronounced dead at the scene. A postmortem examination gave the cause of death as multiple stab wounds. Jordan Bailey-Mascoll, 26, was previously found guilty of murdering Pearce and sentenced to life imprisonment in July 2018 with a recommendation that he serve at least 35 years. A £10,000 reward was offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killers. Egan was remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear at the Old Bailey on 12 May.
