LONDON, JUNE 14 : A 26-year-old Indian-origin man was killed in a knife attack in Southall, west London, prompting a murder investigation by the Metropolitan Police.
The victim, identified as Gurbhej Singh, was fatally stabbed near the junction of North Road and Dormers Wells Lane. Another man in his 30s sustained injuries in the incident and was later discharged from hospital after receiving treatment.
Police and emergency services responded to the scene in the early hours of Wednesday following a call from the London Ambulance Service. Despite efforts by medical personnel, Singh succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell of the Metropolitan Police’s Specialist Crime Command said investigators believe Singh was assaulted outside a shop at around 12:30 am and appealed to witnesses and anyone with CCTV footage from the area to come forward.
As part of the investigation, seven men aged between their early 20s and late 30s were arrested on suspicion of murder. Following further inquiries, six were released without further action, while one suspect was released on bail pending further investigation.
Specialist officers are providing support to Singh’s family as the probe continues.
