a fatal stabbing in manor park road has led the met to open a murder investigation; detectives urge anyone with information or footage to contact police quoting CAD6284/11FEB
A murder inquiry is underway after a 33-year-old man was found with stab wounds at a property on Manor Park Road in Brent.
What happened
Officers and London Ambulance Service crews were called to the address at about 18:05 on 11 February.
Paramedics treated the man at the scene but he was later pronounced dead. His identity has not yet been confirmed; detectives are working to notify his next of kin with care and sensitivity.
The investigation so far
The Met’s Homicide Command, assisted by the North West Command Unit and local officers, is leading urgent enquiries.
Specialist forensic teams have been searching the scene for evidence while investigators review nearby CCTV and doorbell footage to build a timeline. Officers are also speaking to witnesses and anyone who may have information.
Police currently believe the attack was an isolated incident, but they say all lines of inquiry remain open as they piece together what happened.
No arrests have been made and a cordon remains in place while enquiries continue. Extra patrols are being deployed in the area to reassure residents.
How you can help
Anyone with CCTV, dashcam or doorbell recordings from the evening of 11 February is urged to check them. Even brief clips or single images can be vital. Preserve original files without editing and note the time and location of any footage – that context makes the material far more useful to investigators. Please pass any evidence to police through official channels so it can be handled appropriately.
Community response
Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams offered condolences to the victim’s family and acknowledged the distress such an incident causes in the neighbourhood. Local officers are increasing visible patrols and are available to speak with residents about any concerns.
