'Hero' Romanian bouncer, 33, who was stabbed to death trying to stop gatecrashers

This is the bouncer stabbed to death by a gang who tried to burst into an exclusive New Year's Eve party held at a £12.5million Mayfair townhouse overlooking Hyde Park. 

Tudor Simionov, 33, died trying to stop gatecrashers from entering the £5,000-a-week rental property described as Britain's most exclusive student pad and also linked to swingers' parties.

Romanian-born Mr Simionov was called a hero by witnesses who described how he fought off at least nine men before he was knifed in the centre of the chest and died on the Park Lane pavement.

Today his heartbroken girlfriend Madalina Anghel revealed they had come to Britain for a 'better life' and had intended to marry soon and have children.

She said: 'Right now I can't think about him in the past. He was my future husband and we came to London from Romania for a better life. I can't explain in words how much pain I am in'. 


Miss Anghel added in an interview with the Evening Standard: 'He was a really good man. We were happily and excitedly talking about having children together.' 

Club promoter Leroy Rose, 25, fought to save Mr Simionov's life but said he only survived around a minute after being stabbed in the chest. 

He told the Standard: 'I saw him come back inside. He was in a suit and it was covered in blood. He didn't have a protective vest or anything. I saw blood coming from his chest.

'I pulled him into the back and grabbed a towel and held the wound. He never said a word, he was in a shock. He only survived for a minute. He was stabbed in the middle of the chest. He is a hero, he died trying to save his colleagues. He beat up about nine guys by himself.' 

Tudor's murder came an hour after Charlotte Huggins, also 33, was stabbed to death in Camberwell on a night of bloodshed in London.

A 34-year-old man who was arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder was released on bail last night. 

Police believe revellers filmed the Park Lane attack on their phones outside the luxury three-bedroom house which had been hired out for a New Year's Eve party.

The house features views of Hyde Park, glass floors, its own 24-hour concierge and a roof terrace. It is one of the world's most expensive student houses, costing £5,000 a week to rent.

It is understood to have been used for swingers' parties in the past.
