A man and a teenage boy have been arrested on suspicion of murder after Kariem Abdelhalim,24, died in a crash
The victim of a fatal crash in Ladbroke Grove has been named and pictured for the first time as Kariem Abdelhalim, 24. A man and a teenage boy have been arrested on suspicion of murder after the incident on North Pole Road, in the area of North Kensington.
Met Police attended the scene on September 25, at 1.20am, to reports of a man found seriously injured. Officers attended the scene with the London Ambulance Service paramedics, but sadly, Kariem was pronounced dead at the scene. His family are being supported by specialist officers.
Detectives believe that Kariem was riding an e-bike while being pursued by a moped shortly before the collision. Since his death, officers have followed a number of lines of enquiry and, as a result, arrested a 19-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy on Monday, September 28.
Detective Chief Inspector Neil John, who is leading the investigation, said: “Since Kariem’s death, detectives have been working at pace, to build a picture of the events that night.
“I encourage anyone who has information in relation to Kariem’s death to contact us. Any information could be vital in our investigation and help provide much-needed answers for Kariem’s family.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting reference 414/25SEP. You can also call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 to remain anonymous.
