£20,000 Offered To Find Man Wanted For Murder In Acton
Patryk Makuch suspected of stabbing a man to death on Alfred Road
Patryk Makuch
A £20,000 reward is being as part of an appeal to trace a man wanted in connection with a murder that took place in Acton earlier this year.
Patryk Makuch, who is aged 34 and a Polish national, is accused of stabbing Kamil Malysz who was also 34.
Makuch is believed to have travelled to Europe and a European Arrest Warrant has been obtained.
A murder investigation was launched after Kamil’s body was found dead in a multi-occupancy residential property on the morning of Sunday, 27 January. Police were called to the flat at 10.15am by neighbours concerned for his welfare.
A 33-year-old man was arrested on the same day and was bailed to return on a date in late February.
A post-mortem examination took place at Uxbridge Mortuary on Monday, 28 January and gave cause of death as haemorrhaging due to a stab injury.
Kamil Malysz
Kamil’s next of kin have been informed and his family members in Poland are being kept up to date with the investigation.
Detective Chief Inspector Katherine Goodwin from the Specialist Crime Command, said: “Kamil Malysz was stabbed to death and his family are dealing with his tragic loss. However, the fact that the person responsible has not been brought to justice only adds to their anguish. I would appeal to anyone who can help us find this man to contact police.
“Makuch is probably abroad and my detectives have been working closely with the Polish authorities to find and arrest him. However this man may well be anywhere in northern Europe and a European Arrest Warrant has been obtained and his details circulated to all the relevant countries. This means that anyone visiting Europe can contact the local police with information about Makuch’s whereabouts and there is a reward of £20,000 if that information leads to his arrest.”
