New CCTV images released over 2004 murder of student at London club

Detectives investigating the murder of a student at a central London club more than 20 years ago have released enhanced CCTV images of a man they believe may be responsible for stabbing her.

Camille Gordon, 23, who was training to be a nursery assistant, was stabbed in the chest on the doorstep of the Blue Bunny Club in Archer Street, Soho.

Police are also offering a £20,000 reward for information leading to the successful conviction of the person responsible for the attack.

Ms Gordon was working on the door of the club on 1 March 2004 when a man approached her at about 6.30pm, the Met Police said.

The club offered female company for short periods of time, but no sexual activity took place.

The man entered the club, paying an admission fee of £5, and went to a private area with Ms Gordon.

When another member of staff presented the man with a bill for £375, he was unable to pay the full amount, so he paid £80 and was escorted to the exit.

The customer walked along Archer Street towards Rupert Street, before returning to the venue, police said.

After seeing a different member of staff, he raised both hands in a submissive manner and set off again towards Rupert Street.

Then at about 7.10pm, Ms Gordon returned to the door of the club when a man was seen to enter the doorway before very quickly leaving, walking at pace along Archer Street towards Great Windmill Street.

Ms Gordon screamed and staggered down the stairs into the club where she told colleagues she had been stabbed in the chest.

Ms Gordon, who was born in Jamaica and living in South Norwood, London, died from her injuries about an hour later.

Detectives have released enhanced CCTV images of the unknown customer entering Piccadilly Circus Tube station shortly after Ms Gordon was stabbed.

He is seen wearing a dark jacket with a large “Cleveland Indians” logo on the front, dark jeans, white trainers and a hat believed to be a baseball cap.

Two days later, on 3 March, a man attended Kennington Police Station in London and asked to speak to an officer about a murder at the Blue Bunny Club, but left and never returned.

Detectives are urging the man to get in touch so he can share the information he has.

He is described as white, about 35 years old, around 5ft 8in tall, of skinny build with defined cheekbones and light brown hair.

Detective Inspector Amanda Greig said police were offering a financial reward for information, adding: “It may have been more than 20 years since Camille was brutally murdered, but her family remain just as heartbroken today.”

She added: “A lot can happen in 20 years, allegiances can change. Maybe you felt unable to talk to us at the time, for whatever reason, but you are now in a position to do so.

“Maybe you saw the attack or you were at the club or in the area at the time of the murder? Maybe the person responsible has since confided in you?”
