Emergency services were alerted by the London Ambulance Service, and officers arrived at the scene alongside paramedics. Despite efforts to save him, Singh, who had suffered a knife injury, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police Appeal for Information
“Homicide detectives continue to investigate Mr Singh’s tragic death and my thoughts remain with his family and loved ones,” said detective chief inspector Alison Foxwell, from the Met Police’s Specialist Crime Command.
“We believe he was assaulted outside a shop at the junction of North Road and Dormers Well Lane at around 00:30hrs (Wednesday).
“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,” she said.
