Police launch image appeal in Haringey murder investigation
Police say they're not suspects but might be able to help them with police enquiries.
Images of three men that police want to speak to have been released, as detectives investigate the murder of Ibrahim Pertek in Haringey
Ibrahim, who was 52 and from Wood Green, died in hospital on Tuesday, 1 August 2023 following a suspected assault at about 01:10hrs on Sunday, 16 July. His family continue to be supported by specially trained officers.
Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie, leading the investigation, said: “Efforts have been underway to identify these men for some time and now we need to ask the public for help.
"Our enquiries show that these men were in or near the alleyway where Ibrahim was assaulted after the incident took place.
"I am keen to stress that there is no indication that these men were involved in the incident however it is key that we speak to them to establish if they saw anything that could help our investigation.”
Extensive CCTV inquiries have indicated that Ibrahim was assaulted in the alley next to Wood Green Library that leads from Wood Green High Road to Caxton Road at about 01:10hrs on Sunday, 16 July 2023.
Officers and the London Ambulance Service were called at 02:50hrs and found Ibrahim with a serious head injury. He was taken to hospital in a critical condition and sadly did not recover.
The incident was initially investigated by local detectives, but following his death homicide detectives launched a murder investigation.
A 19-year-old man has been charged in connection with this incident. He is not featured in any of these images.
