The ‘Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince’ actor known for his role as Marcus Belby was stabbed to death in 2008 when he was just 18; the incident took place in Sidcup London outside the Metro Bar. Tragically Knox was trying to protect his younger brother who was being threatened by two men with knives. Knox was on the cusp of a promising career and had signed a contract to appear in ‘Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows’ which was released in 2010. His killer Karl Bishop was sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum twenty year non parole period.
