Police continue to appeal for witnesses after a 39-year-old man died following a stabbing in West Ealing.
Officers were called at around 7:50pm on Saturday (6 April 2024) reports of a disturbance and along with London Ambulance medics found man stabbed in Uxbridge Road at the junction with Singapore Road. Despite the efforts of emergency services, the man died at the scene.
DCI Laura Nelson, specialist crime who is leading the Met’s investigation said: “This senseless murder arose from what appears to have been a minor dispute inside a pub. The dispute spilled outside where the victim was fatally stabbed.
“Although formal identification has yet to take place, we believe we know the man’s identity and have informed his family. I send my most sincere condolences to them.
“It is crucial that anyone who was in the pub on Saturday night who may have seen anything significant makes contact with police and tells us what they saw. I also need to hear from anyone who recorded mobile phone footage which may have captured the disturbance, the build up to it or the aftermath.
“Police cordons will remain in place well into Monday, 8 April, and possibly beyond. These will include parts of Uxbridge Road / The Broadway in West Ealing.
“Specialist officers are conducting a full forensic examination of the scene, working alongside local officers and other specialists from across the Met. This work will take some time, and I thank local people for their patience.”
Three people were initially arrested in connection with the investigation and have since been released with no further action.
Anyone with information is being asked to call 101, ref 6624/06apr. To remain anonymous, contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
