Homicide detectives are appealing for information following the tragic death of Ibrahim Pertek, a 52-year-old man from Wood Green, who died in hospital on Tuesday, August 1. Detectives believe that Mr. Pertek may have been initially assaulted, possibly during a robbery, on Sunday, July 16, at approximately 1.10pm.
Extensive CCTV inquiries have led officers to believe that the assault took place in an alley adjacent to Wood Green Library, connecting Wood Green High Road to Caxton Road. At 2.50pm on the same night, officers and the London Ambulance Service responded to a call and found Mr. Pertek suffering from a serious head injury. He was rushed to the hospital in a critical condition, but tragically, he did not recover.
