Police investigating the murder of a man in Southall have named him as Gurbhej Singh, aged 26, as appeals continue to trace witnesses and anyone with information.

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

Officers attended with paramedics and two men were found to have been injured.

Despite the efforts of medical staff, Mr Singh – who had suffered a knife wound – was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. His family continue to be supported by specialist officers.

The second man, in his 30s, was treated at hospital and later discharged.

Seven men, aged from their early 20s to late 30s, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder. Following further enquiries, six have been released with no further action being taken, and one has been bailed to return at a later date.

Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell, of the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said: “Homicide detectives continue to investigate Mr Singh’s tragic death and my thoughts remain with his family and loved ones.

“We believe he was assaulted outside a shop at the junction of North Road and Dormers Well Lane at around 00:30hrs.

“I would urge anyone with CCTV covering the area – or who was in the area at the time and has not yet spoken to police – to please come forward and speak to police.”
