The manager of a top designer Emilio Pucci store, Andrew Pratt, 43 was stabbed to death for his Gucci bag. Andrew was stabbed in the heart, yards from his London home after wrestling with a street robber. Andrew was found collapsed and bleeding outside his front door in Camberwell, South London.

Investigating officer Detective Sergeant Andy Craig said: ‘It looks like a robbery gone wrong.

‘Mr Pratt’s bag had a strap and we believe he resisted when the assailant tried to yank it from his shoulder.’

The attacker knifed Mr Pratt once before calmly walking away, according to witnesses. Paramedics treated him at the scene before taking him to hospital but doctors were unable to save him.

The Gucci bag, still containing his mobile phone and wallet, was found by officers close by.

Mr Pratt was appointed store manager two months ago after working as the assistant manager for several years.

A spokesman for Emilio Pucci said everyone in the company was ‘deeply saddened’ to lose such a well liked colleague.
