Boy, 13, arrested over murder of 46-year-old man in West Drayton

A 13-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder, after a 46-year-old man was stabbed to death in West Drayton.

The teenager was arrested on Thursday and remains in police custody.

Dariusz Wolosz, a Polish national who lived locally, was found with stab wounds in the High Street in Yiewsley, Hillingdon at 0.12am on January 4.

Paramedics treated him at the scene but he tragically died half an hour later.

A post-mortem examination carried out on Thursday, January 6 gave the cause of death as stab wounds to the groin and chest.

Det Chief Insp Wayne Jolley, Specialist Crime, leading the investigation said: “We believe Dariusz was attacked by a group of males in Tavistock Road following a verbal dispute.

“The group then fled in different directions.

"The area was busy at the time with passing traffic and people driving past could well have captured dash cam footage of the incident, and the moments leading up to it.

"Dariusz’s family are distraught and we are doing everything we can to support them at this time.

"I urge local people to check any doorbell and dash cameras to check them; you may have captured something that could be very significant for us."

Anyone who has information is asked to call 101 or tweet @MetCC, giving the reference 0063/04JAN.
