Police have arrested a 13-year-old boy in connection with the brutal stabbing murder of 46-year-old Dariusz Wolosz in West Drayton. The teenager was taken into custody on Thursday, 6 January, on suspicion of murder and remains held as inquiries continue.
The stabbing occurred just after midnight on Tuesday, 4 January, on West Drayton High Street. London Ambulance Service alerted police at 00:12hrs following reports of a man stabbed on the High Street in Yiewsley, West Drayton. Officers arrived to find Dariusz, a local Polish resident, critically injured. Despite the desperate efforts of paramedics and police, he was pronounced dead at 12:43am.
A post-mortem examination confirmed that Dariusz died from stab wounds to his groin and chest.
Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley, who is leading the investigation, revealed that the attack followed a verbal dispute on Tavistock Road. “We believe Dariusz was attacked by a group of males who fled in different directions,” he said.
The area was busy at the time, with both traffic and pedestrians present. Police are urging anyone who may have captured the attack or its lead-up on dashcams or doorbell cameras to come forward.
“Dariusz’s family are distraught and we are doing everything we can to support them,” added Detective Chief Inspector Jolley. “Please check your cameras and get in touch if you saw anything.”
