'No wider risk to public' after fatal Harrow stabbing
Detectives investigating a fatal stabbing in Harrow say they're confident there is no wider risk to the public
That's despite no arrests being made since 37 year old Robert Weston was killed on Monday
Officers were called to Hamilton Road just after 2pm in the afternoon , but he died at the scene.
Investigating officers say they'd like dashcam footage from anyone in the area.
Superintendent Matt Cray, who leads policing in Harrow, said:
“This is a devastating incident and our thoughts are with Robert’s family and loved ones.
“We remain in the early stages of our investigation, however I am confident there is no wider risk to the community in Harrow.
“This will have a significant impact on how the community feels about their safety and there will be enhanced patrols in the area over the next few days to respond to any concerns people may have.
“The team of detectives who are investigating Robert’s death are working hard to establish what happened, and I would ask that anyone who has not yet come forward with information, which could help their enquiries, does so without delay.”
Detective Chief Inspector Neil John is leading the enquiries, he said:
“This was a terrible incident and my condolences are with the victim’s loved ones.
“We believe that the assault took place inside a house and enquiries are ongoing to determine how Robert came to lose his life.
“At this time, I am interested to hear from anyone who was travelling in Hamilton Crescent or the Kingsway around the time of the offence, and who may have dash cam footage to share.
“This would have been between the times of 13:45hrs and 14:15hrs on Monday 26 February.
“Even if you didn’t see anything significant, your dash cam footage may tell a different story, so please do contact my team of detectives.”
As is routine in cases where there has been prior police contact, a mandatory referral will be made to the IOPC by the Met's Department of Professional Standards.
