A man charged with murder and attempted murder over the double stabbing is due to appear in court today (Tuesday, July 14)
The 24-year-old woman stabbed to death inside a home in West London has been named by police. Kirandeep Kaur was killed in a property on Uxbridge Road, in Hayes, at about 7.55am on Sunday, July 12.
A Met Police spokesperson said her next-of-kin have been told about her death and are being supported by specialist officers. A man, aged in his 20s, who was also stabbed and found outside the home when emergency services arrived remains in hospital, and his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
A man charged in connection with the double stabbing has been named as Daniel James, 44, of Mercer Place, in Pinner. He faces counts of murder, attempted murder and possession of a bladed article. He is due to appear before Willesden Magistrates’ Court today (Tuesday, July 14).
Detective Chief Inspector Allam Bhangoo said: “This is a shocking incident which has tragically resulted in one woman losing her life and another man in hospital with injuries. Our thoughts at this time are with both victims and their loved ones, who are being supported by specialist officers.”
A large area around the property was cordoned off on Sunday afternoon, with a dozen police officers on site. A forensic tent was set up on Uxbridge Road, next to a car, with forensic officers carrying out searches and reviewing documents nearby.
A 67-year-old woman who lives on Belmore Avenue, behind Uxbridge Road, told the Press Association she had “never seen anything like it”.
The woman, who did not want to be named, said: “It’s scary what happened, and it’s scary seeing the police, tent and everything. I’ve lived here for 12 years and I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s safe usually, I feel safe.”
