The doorman stabbed in Mayfair on New Year’s Eve died protecting wealthy clients at a flamboyant party run by disgraced self-styled aristocrat Lord ‘Fast Eddie’ Davenport, it has been claimed.

The peer, known for his opulent sex parties, was seen helping with the payments on the door at the exclusive late night ‘after-party’ when thugs tried to storm their way into the Park Lane venue where Arab princes, tycoons and revellers were celebrating.

Doorman Tudor Simionov was killed after being knifed in the chest and the party hostess was also seriously injured when violence erupted at about 5.30am.

An employee at the party said Eddie Davenport organised the event and took payment from high-spirited revellers

The member of staff, who asked not to be named, told MailOnline: ‘Eddie organised the party. He was the one who handled payment. 

‘When I say payment, I mean entry fee to the party and table prices.

‘He was the one with the card machine and collecting cash. For example, five males were charged £2,000, three males were £800 and I think one male single entry was £100. Prices weren’t fixed, they went up and down. Davenport worked with two other chaps and a Chinese lady.’

The source added: ‘It was a wild party. You name it, it was available.’
