Police want to trace a man over a death involving industrial machinery at a skip yard in west London.
The incident occurred on August 7 last year, when police were called to a yard on Station Approach, Greenford at around 7.30am, following reports that a man had been struck by a front loader, a type of plant machinery.
Despite the efforts of paramedics, 34-year-old Yadvinder Satnam Singh died at the scene, with a post-mortem examination finding that he had died from injuries consistent with a road traffic collision.
The Met police have now released images of Bashar Al-Kadah, 30, who they say may have vital information regarding Singh’s death.
He is believed to have left the UK, having last been seen in the Luton area on August 9.
Mr Singh’s family continue to be supported by officers, while detectives have carried out extensive enquiries and are now in a position to name Al-Kadah and release CCTV images of him taken on the day of the incident.
Detective Constable Cynthia Da Silva, who is leading the Met’s investigation, said: "Yadvinder's death was tragic and our thoughts remain with his family and friends.
"We are committed to finding answers for Yadvinder's family and have spent the past six months conducting extensive enquiries to identify the circumstances surrounding this awful incident.
"Despite hundreds of hours of work, including trawling phone records and banking details, we have been unable to locate Al-Kadah.
We are now calling on anyone who recognises him or knows where he is to get in touch with police."
Two men in their 40s were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter in August last year, and were released under investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting reference 01/7829119/25, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
