Knife Horror on Kilburn High Road: Cops Hunt Crucial Witness
Detective Urges Witness to Step Forward
Detective Sergeant Sean Judge is desperate to track down a key witness captured on camera near the scene of a brutal stabbing.
“We believe the man in this image was close to the victim during the attack,” said DS Judge. “He might hold vital clues about what was said between the victim and suspect before the murder.”
If you recognise him—or if it’s you—police want you to come forward immediately.
Deadly Attack on Busy High Street
The stabbing happened at 10:24pm on Thursday, 16 July along Kilburn High Road, near a popular fast-food spot. Emergency crews rushed to the scene after reports of a man down with stab wounds.
Peter, 37, a West Kilburn local, was airlifted to a central London hospital but tragically died shortly after at 10:57pm. His family has been informed and are receiving support from specialist officers.
Man Charged, Police Still Seeking Help
A 23-year-old suspect has been charged over the stabbing. But Detective Sergeant Judge says the investigation is far from over.
“The attack was quick and violent, right in the middle of a busy street,” he said. “I urge anyone with any information to get in touch. Every detail helps.”
