Police name man who was stabbed to death in street
THE 57-YEAR-OLD WAS FOUND ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN HILLINGDON
A 57-YEAR-OLD man who was stabbed to death in a West London street on Wednesday, July 6 has been named by police.
Police were called at just gone 7pm last night to the junction of Cowley Road and The Greenway in Uxbridge.
When they arrived they found man named Khurram Butt on the side of the road suffering stab wounds. Despite the efforts of paramedics from London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance, he died at the scene.
Officers say his next of kin have been informed.
A 49-year-old man subsequently attended a west London police station where he was arrested on suspicion of murder. He remains in custody.
One anonymous resident told MyLondon: “It was quite shocking really. It’s a very busy road, it was only across the road in broad daylight.
“The ambulance arrived so quickly. The air ambulance landed in the local park. I just can’t believe it really.”
While another local resident, 43-year-old Andy Panayiotou, said: “I only moved here in November. I do not feel unsafe, it just feels out of character. We were all quite surprised. It feels very surreal, really.”
Detective chief inspector Katherine Goodwin, said: “We are appealing for any witnesses who were in the area of Cowley Road, near to the junction with Frayslea just after 7pm on 6 July, who may have seen anything that may help with our investigation.
“It is a busy road and a number of people would have been on foot in the area or in vehicles. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have a dashcam footage.”
