Police have launched a murder probe after a man in his 30s was stabbed to death in a west London residential street on Tuesday night. Officers were called to the knifing at around 10.30pm outside an address in Oaklands Road, Hanwell, in Ealing and found the victim with stab wounds. Despite the efforts of paramedics, his life could not be saved and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Although formal identification is yet to take place, police believe the victim was in his 30s. A post-mortem exam is due to be carried out later.
Met DCI Alison Foxwell said: “Our thoughts today are with the victim’s family and friends in light of this truly tragic event. “Local residents will see an increased number of officers in and around Hanwell while our investigative work is carried out. I want to thank residents for their patience while this continues. “I would ask anyone who was in the area of Oaklands Road, who may have seen or heard anything suspicious, to come forward to us.”.
