Two London men have been arrested on suspicion of murder following the death of Karamjeet Singh Reel in Hounslow.

Emergency services found the 31-year-old with stab wounds on Staines Rd outside the Moon Under Water pub in the early hours of Saturday.

Despite best efforts, he died at the scene. A post-mortem examination found the cause of his death was a stab wound.

Reel’s family have been informed and are supported by specialist officers, Met Police said.

Two men were arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of murder and remain in police custody in west London, Met Police said.

The 32-year-old and 23-year-old men are both from Ealing.

Detective Chief Inspector James Shirley, from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said: “Our investigation continues into the events that led to Karamjeet’s murder. We still need to speak to anyone who was in the area of Staines Road in Hounslow in the early hours of Saturday, 25 June and witnessed anything that may be of relevance.

“I would ask anyone with information, no matter how insignificant you think it may be, to get in contact with my officers – it could prove to be a crucial piece of the wider picture that enables us to identify whoever is responsible.”

Anyone with information or any witnesses yet to speak with police are asked to call 101 or tweet @MetCC with the reference 189/25JUN.

Information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online.

Karamjeet is believed to have worked for bathroom installation specialists Right Tiles before his death.

Heartbroken colleagues have raised more than £2000 for his family after setting up a GoFundMe page for their “kind” and “genuine” friend.

The tribute reads: “Karamjeet Singh was the most popular, kind, gentle and genuine member of the Right Tiles team. He couldn’t say no to anyone and would go out of his way to help any colleague or customer.

“He was tragically taken away from us early this morning, Saturday, 25th June. Police are currently investigating the circumstances of this tragic loss of life. He was stabbed yards from his home.
