I've just found details of the lynching in Kennington via Google. It was the same area, but not that date. The date in question was 15.9.1940 and the victim was Oberleutnant (= Flying Officer) Robert Zehbe of the bomber unit KG76.

There is a German site devoted to the lynching of airmen at:-

abschluss

The one on 15/09/40 is reported; a quick translation reads as follows:-

Murder of German Oberleutnant (= flying officer) Robert Zehbe (pilot with KG 76) by civilians in the London district of Kennington. The case was researched by Dr Klaus Schmider, German lecturer in military history at Sandhurst. Source, Alfred Price, Battle of Britain Day, 15 September 1940, published in London 1990, page 63.
