| | |  Half-Blood Prince actor killed (UPDATED)
Rob Knox, an 18 year old actor who had just finished playing Ravenclaw student Marcus Belby in Half-Blood Prince, has been killed. The young actor was stabbed to death in a fight at the Metro bar in Sidcup, Kent, England. He was reported to have just finished filming the sixth movie. Quote:
A Warner Bros spokeswoman said the movie company was "deeply saddened and shocked" by his death and that "our sympathies are with his family."
Three other people were taken to hospital, with one of the individuals being held by police on suspicion of murder.
Our thoughts go out to his friends & family at this tough time.
Thanks to Kaz & Sabrina_Snape for the tip! UPDATE: According to The Guardian Robert had already signed up for Deathly Hallows - since his death six other actors from the Half-Blood Prince cast have visited the place at which he died, to pay their respects. Quote:
"Rob loved acting and loved being part of Harry Potter. We used to go to the karaoke nights at the bar and we'd take the mick out of him by announcing 'Good luck in Harry Potter, Rob' and he used to hide. He didn't like it when we went on about his acting.
"He was so good to everyone about it. He took loads of us up the location where they were shooting it, just to show them what it's like," he added.
Further to that, the Associated Press is reporting that a 21 year old man has been charged with Robert's murder and will appear in court on Tuesday.  | |

violence has reached an absurd level. to kill someone over a quarell in a pub or something, it's ridiculous... poor guy, so young and to die for nothing.
My prayers go not only for his family, but for the everybody else who's lost loved ones in stupid bar fights.

At least they've arrested someone. Justice always helps ease the pain a little bit, tho not much.

the link named the killer and his other victim all luck to still be alive christ, this sounds to be gang related, given the number of victims in stabbing incidents like this one.
