Three people have been charged in connection with the death of a man in west London on Sunday afternoon.

22 year old Dara Omar who was from Brentford was treated for stab wounds on Hanworth road in Hounslow - but died at the scene.

27 year old Kaywan Warzier of Walnut Tree Road in Hounslow, has been charged with murder and possession of an offensive weapon.

33 year old Tania Hamza of Kingsley Road, Hounslow, is charged with violent disorder and assisting an offender.

31 year old Aziz Hama, of Selbourne Ave, Hounslow is charged with assisting an offender.

All three will appear in custody at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, 26 June.

Called out on a busy street in the afternoon

Police were called to the scene outside Hounslow Muslim Centre on Hanworth Road, west London, at 2.21pm on Sunday.

Paramedics treated the victim for multiple stab wounds before he was taken to hospital where he later died, the Metropolitan Police said.

Witnesses described him as a "very good man" who worked at the Menara Lounge, a Middle Eastern restaurant, next to the Muslim Centre.

One said: "It's so sad, he was only 22 and was trying to be a mediator in a fight that broke out between people outside the restaurant on the street.

"He was trying to break it up but got caught up in the fight."

Farhan Ali, 31, lives in Hounslow and has been running a phone shop for nine years near where the incident took place.

He said of the victim: "He was such a good guy, and so hard-working too.

"He was my best customer and would often send people up from the restaurant he worked at to help my business.

"He was only 22 and it's so sad - life is so short.

"I've known him for six years and he is a big part of the community here and an amazing person."

One friend of the victim said: "He used to bring me sandwiches from the restaurant, and he'd always stop to chat.

"He has died for nothing. He was taken too soon. Nobody had a bad word to say about Dara."

The Metropolitan Police said there is nothing to suggest a link between the incident and the Hounslow Muslim Centre.
