Daniel Young was killed while walking along a commuter shortcut near Morden station
A man arrested on suspicion of the murder of a university lecturer near a London Tube station has been released on bail.
Daniel Young, 30, was attacked in Kendor Gardens, near Morden Underground station, shortly after 08:00 GMT on Tuesday.
A post-mortem examination found he died from a stab wound.
The 35-year-old arrested on suspicion of murder has been bailed until February.
Flowers and tributes have been left in memory of Daniel Young at the scene of the attack
A 26-year-old man was arrested on the day of the attack on suspicion of murder and wasting police time. He has also been bailed.
Mr Young, originally from Paignton in Devon, was attacked as he made his way to the London Campus of Coventry University for the second day of a new job.
He was attacked in a park used by commuters as a short cut to Morden Tube station and Morden Road tram stop.
It happened less than 40 minutes after a 23-year-old man was stabbed in the buttocks in nearby Lewis Road.
Scotland Yard said it was investigating whether the two attacks were linked and trying to establish the motive.
The park is used by many people as a shortcut to Morden Tube station
On Facebook, Mr Young's brother Simon wrote: "My Brother. My friend. I'm still wrapping my head round this, still hoping/wishing it's a sick joke.
"I don't know what to feel, I'm frustrated, angry, upset, confused. Just so proud of everything you achieved in your life, places you travelled, friends you made...you are inspirational big Bro."
