Detectives Seeking Key Witnesses
Detective Chief Inspector Vicky said: “Ahmed’s murder happened close to Harrow Road, a busy West London artery. Did you drive through Harrow Road on the night of the killing? Did you spot a blue Mazda 2 GT Sport, registration LD17 CXS, speeding away around 12:30am?”
She added: “It’s been a year since Ahmed’s death—a year of agony for his family. Someone out there knows something. Maybe you’ve heard whispers or seen suspicious activity. Please step up and help us. There’s even a substantial reward for useful info.”
