Detectives are appealing for information as they released the name of a 42-year-old man fatally stabbed in a north-west London park.
The victim, 42, was knifed and found dying in a residential street in Wembley.
Milton Hurlington was attacked in King Edward VII Park, Wembley, at around 9.50pm on Monday. He staggered to the Dene where paramedics battled to save his life but he sadly died at the scene.
A post-mortem examination has established cause of death as blood loss following a stab wound to the arm.
The Met’s Directorate of Professional Standards has been informed of the death as officers had been in contact with the deceased before his death.
The contact was earlier in the day and not immediately before the fatal attack, Scotland Yard said in a statement.
Detective Chief Inspector Linda Bradley, leading the investigation, said: “First and foremost, my thoughts are with Milton’s family and friends at what is an incredibly difficult time.
“Specialist support is being given by my team, and they will continue to receive this as the investigation progresses.
“At present we believe he sustained his injuries in King Edward VII park and then made his way to the Dene, where residents discovered him and called the emergency services.
“I am really keen to hear from anyone who saw or heard anything out of the ordinary in the park and surrounding areas on Monday 17 July between 6pm and 10:45pm to come forward.
“Please do not hesitate to get in touch, no matter how insignificant you may think your information to be- it could be the key to our investigation.”
Two men and a woman were arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder of Mr Hurlington, from north-west London, and have been released on bail to return at a future date.
Anyone with any information that could help the investigation should call police on 101 and give reference 8258/17JUL23.
