Detectives have detained two people as part of an investigation into the murder of an East Finchley man
A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after an assault inside a shop in East Finchley last month. Police were called to Brook Walk shortly after 10.05pm on June 30 following reports that a man had been injured.
Paul Heyfron, 53, and from the local area, was taken to hospital by London Ambulance Service paramedics, where he died on July 12. Detectives detained a 30-year-old man on suspicion of murder at an address in Lewisham yesterday, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.
A woman, aged 47, was also arrested at the same location on suspicion of assisting an offender. They both remain in custody.
Detective Inspector Jon Moseling, the senior investigating officer, said: “Our thoughts remain with Paul’s family and friends at this extremely difficult time.
“This is a significant update in our investigation, however, our enquiries continue to establish the circumstances of this tragic incident.”
Witnesses, especially those with CCTV or doorbell camera footage, are asked to come forward. Mr Heyfron’s family continue to be supported by specially trained officers, the Met added.
Anyone with relevant information or footage should contact police on 101, quoting CAD 9157/30JUN26, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
