Tragic: Sonia Lawrence with her brother Steve Brown, who was killed in Stoke Newington ( 

A man 

who was stabbed to death in London was a "loving father" who had recently been reunited with estranged relatives, his family said today.

Steve Brown, 47, was knifed in the heart outside a builder's merchants in Mathias Road, Stoke Newington.

He was pronounced dead at the scene at about 6pm on Wednesday last week. 

His sister Sonia Lawrence, who lives in Florida, said the father-of-five was "a jolly man who never stopped laughing" and when she came over for 10 days "he met me at Heathrow and ran over to me and gave me the biggest hug.

A victim, aged in his 30s, was found with a stab injury in Matthias Road and died at the scene (PA)

It was the first time I'd seen him in 20 years." She said he had been "so happy to have all his family around him", adding: "We are all heartbroken". Eight people aged 23 to 62 were held on suspicion of murder and released under investigation.
