Investigation Underway – Police Urge Witnesses to Speak Up
Detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command are leading the probe. A post-mortem confirmed the cause of death as blood loss from a stab wound to the arm.

“I urge anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious in the park or nearby on 17 July between 6pm and 10:45pm to come forward. No piece of information is too small – it could be crucial to our investigation.”

Two men and a woman were arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder. They have since been released on bail, pending further inquiries.
