Detectives are appealing for help to identify a man whose body was recovered from water in 1981.
Forty years ago this week, at the Grand Union Canal in Southall, the body of a man was pulled from the water. His death was not thought to have been suspicious.
Despite extensive enquiries made in May 1981 and continued efforts over the past four decades, the man was never identified.
Officers hope that this appeal, which forms part of a cold case review, may prompt someone to think about a family member or friend that they lost touch with forty years ago who looked similar to the artist’s impression that was compiled based on how the man looked at the time of his death.
Detectives are appealing for information following a violent assault in Barking.
At around 20:25hrs on Tuesday, 4 May, police were called to reports of a stabbing at Thurlestone Avenue.
Officers and London Ambulance Service [LAS] attended. At the scene, a man, aged in his 30s, had been attacked by a group of males and had suffered a number of knife wounds.
The victim, who was with his 12-year-old son at the time of the incident, was taken by LAS to an east London hospital where his condition was not life threatening.
The child was not injured but was, understandably, distressed.
Detective Sergeant Sajid Asghar of East Area Command said: “This was a violent and seemingly unprovoked attack on the victim and it was sheer luck that the victim did not sustain more serious injuries.
