A 16-year-old boy is currently in police custody having been charged with murder after a man died in Hanwell this Sunday (19 March).
The victim, who has been named as 62-year-old Jerald Netto, was found injured near the Clocktower in Hanwell near the junction of Boston Road and Uxbridge Road at 12.50am.
CCTV footage of the incident appears to show the victim stumbling and falling a number of times after his head had hit the ground after the assault.
He was treated at the scene by paramedics and taken to hospital where he died later that day. The man’s family have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.
A murder investigation has been launched, led by DCI Brian Howie of Specialist Crime.
A 16-year-old boy was arrested a short time after Mr Netto was found and he is due to appear in custody at Ealing Magistrates’ Court on Monday (20 March).
Two other males were arrested in connection with the incident. A man, aged in his 20s, has been bailed pending further enquiries. Another 16-year-old boy was released without further action.
Nobody else is currently sought in connection with the incident.
Any witnesses yet to speak with police or anyone with any information are asked to call police on 101 and give reference 327/19Mar. Alternatively, contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
