UPDATE – STRAWBERRY HILL STATION MURDER LINKED TO ANOTHER INCIDENT
The British Transport Police (BTP) which is leading the investigation into the murder at Strawberry Hill railway station issued the following update:
“Following the death of a man at Strawberry Hill railway station yesterday, we are increasing our high visibility patrols in the area this afternoon into the evening and working with our colleagues at Metropolitan Police to provide a visible reassurance to the community.
The scene guard remains in place and is expected to be lifted later this afternoon.
A murder investigation was launched after a 21-year-old man from the Twickenham area sadly died after he was fatally stabbed at the station.
His family have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers. Our thoughts remain with them at this tragic time.
This incident is believed to be linked to another incident in Alexander Close in Twickenham at around 11.57pm.
A 16-year-old received a non-life threatening laceration to his leg. He is among one of those arrested in connection.
Four remain in custody – a 19-year-old man, 20-year-old man, a 16-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy. Anyone with information that may help us piece together the moments leading up to this to contact BTP via this link. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
