A MOTORCYCLIST has been killed after a horrific ‘hit and run’ incident near Heathrow Airport at the weekend.

The man killed has since been named locally as 33-year-old Chris Bayliss.

“Officers attended along with London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance. The motorcyclist – a man aged in his 30s – was pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin are yet to be informed. The car failed to stop at the scene and enquiries are ongoing to locate the driver.”
