The man who died from stab wounds in Hanwell this Monday (10 February) has been named as Dariusz Serafin.
Police believe the 33-year-old suffered multiple knife injuries in the vicinity of the junction of Sydney Road and Regina Road before making his way to Oaklands Road at around 10:15pm.
He then entered the Grosvenor pub to get assistance and the emergency services were called but paramedics were unable to save him and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Homicide detectives are carrying out extensive enquiries to establish the circumstances of the incident. They believe as there were many people in the vicinity of the incident, there could be people with key information to share. There have not been any arrests at this stage.
Dariusz’s family are being supported by specialists. In a statement, they said, “Dariusz, known for his boundless empathy and loving spirit for people and animals, touched everyone he met with his kindness and compassion. His presence will be deeply missed, but his memory will live on in the hearts of those he loved.
“In his honour, his family urges everyone to help end senseless knife crime in the streets of London, and to assist in bringing the person responsible for his death to justice. Rest peacefully, Dariusz.”
Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell, from the Met’s Specialist Crime unit, said, “We are making good progress with our investigation, and a number of leads are being followed up.
“Our enquiries thus far lead us to believe that the stabbing took place in the vicinity of Sydney Road junction with Regina Road. Although this is a predominantly residential area, its proximity to The Broadway – and a number of shops, pubs and restaurants still open at the time of the incident – leads us to believe there will have been witnesses who may have seen or heard something.
“We urge anyone with information to contact us urgently. There may also be CCTV, ring doorbell or dash cam footage which may be relevant to the investigation.
“We urge anybody who was in the area to check their footage from between 20.30hrs and 22.30hrs on Monday, 10 February, and to notify the police if they believe they have captured anything which may assist our investigation.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact 101 or ‘X’ @MetCC, quoting CAD 7176/10FEB25. You can also provide information anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
Information can also be provided directly to police via an online portal.
