A man has been killed following a 'minor' argument in a pub in the West Ealing area of London on Saturday.

Police were called to Uxbridge Road at around 19:50BST on Saturday 6th April following a reported stabbing.

The 39-year-old man died at the scene and three people arrested nearby were released a short time later without charge.

Metropolitan Police are now asking to speak to any witnesses, and want anyone with information to come forward.

DCI Laura Nelson said: “This senseless murder arose from what appears to have been a minor dispute inside a pub.

"The dispute spilled outside where the victim was fatally stabbed.

“Although formal identification has yet to take place, we believe we know the man’s identity and have informed his family.

I send my most sincere condolences to them.

“It is crucial that anyone who was in the pub on Saturday night who may have seen anything significant makes contact with police and tells us what they saw.

"I also need to hear from anyone who recorded mobile phone footage which may have captured the disturbance, the build up to it or the aftermath."

Investigations are expected to continue in the Uxbridge Road area throughout Monday (April 08), and possibly into Tuesday (April 09).
