Detectives investigating the fatal stabbing of a man in Southall have arrested a man on suspicion of murder.

The 20-year-old man was arrested in the Southall area on Tuesday, 16 June on suspicion of murdering Gurbhej Singh, 26. He remains in police custody.

Police were called at 00:41hrs on Wednesday, 10 June following reports of a stabbing on North Road, near the junction with Dormers Wells Lane.

Officers attended with the London Ambulance Service and found two men with injuries.

Despite the efforts of paramedics, Gurbhej – who had suffered a stab wound – was pronounced dead at the scene. His family continue to be supported by specialist officers.

The second man, in his 30s, was taken to hospital but has since been discharged.

Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell, who is leading the investigation, said: “Officers have carried out extensive enquiries since Gurbhej’s death last week, which have led us to arrest a suspect on suspicion of his murder.

“I am aware of the concern that this tragic incident will have caused locally and I would like to thank the community for their patience while we have carried out our enquiries at the scene.

“I also want to thank those who have provided CCTV and other information that has helped us piece together what happened on the night of Gurbhej’s death.

“My thoughts remain with Gurbhej’s family and loved ones.”

A total of seven men, aged from their early 20s to late 30s, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder. Six have since been released with no further action, while a seventh remains on police bail while enquiries continue.
