A 26-year-old man who was fatally stabbed in Southall, Ealing, has been named by police as Gurbhej Singh. Officers were called to North Road, near the junction with Dormers Wells Lane, at 12.41am on Wednesday, June 10, after the London Ambulance Service reported a stabbing.

Police and paramedics attended and found two injured men at the scene. Despite the efforts of medical staff, Mr Singh, who had suffered a knife wound, was pronounced dead at the scene. His family are being supported by specialist officers.

A second man, aged in his 30s, was treated in hospital and has since been 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, while one man has been bailed pending further investigation.

Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell, of the Metropolitan Police’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.”

Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses and information.
