Man Charged with Murder After Fatal Stabbing of Tyler Hayward in Chingford
A man has been charged with murder following the fatal stabbing of Tyler Hayward, 26, on Chingford Mount Road on Sunday night (6 July).
Peshman Ahmedi, 22, of no fixed address, was formally charged with murder today (Thursday) and is set to appear in custody at Willesden Magistrates’ Court later this morning.
Chingford Mount Road remained cordoned off for three days while forensic teams and detectives worked at the scene. A blue and white forensic tent was erected near the site of the attack, as police appealed for witnesses and CCTV.
Family Tribute to “Beautiful Soul”
In a heartbreaking statement released earlier this week, Tyler Hayward’s family said:
“We are struggling with the tragic loss of Tyler, a beautiful soul with the kindest of hearts.
A much-loved son, grandson and brother, that will be missed immensely.
We would appreciate privacy at this time whilst we come to terms with our loss.”
Ongoing Appeal for Information
The Metropolitan Police’s Specialist Crime Command continues to lead the investigation and is urging anyone who was in the area at the time or has relevant dashcam or CCTV footage to come forward.
