First picture of man stabbed to death at house in Canning Town

Police have released a picture of a man stabbed to death at a house in Canning Town.

Raish Ahmed, 50, died and two other people were injured following the attack on Hartington Road at around 4.30pm on Saturday.

Officers were called to the scene along with paramedics from the London Ambulance Service where they found Mr Ahmed with stab wounds.

A teenage boy was also found with a slash injury, while another man, aged 41, was also assaulted.

The Met Police said both injuries were assessed as not life-threatening.

Mr Ahmed was taken to hospital for treatment, but despite the best efforts of emergency services he died in hospital on Monday.

His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

Daniel Whybrow, 46, of Hartington Road was charged on Sunday with attempted murder, and the charges will now be reviewed by the CPS following Mr Ahmed's death.

Whybrow was also charged with grievous bodily harm, threats to kill, racially aggravated assault and possession of an offensive weapon. Police are not looking for anyone else involved in this attack.

Whybrow will next appear at Isleworth Crown Court on November 4.
