A 28-year-old man who was stabbed on the World’s End Estate last month has died in hospital.
Omarkafi Sahal was attacked shortly before 8:55pm on Monday, 30 September.
An air ambulance was sent along with other emergency services and he was taken to a central London hospital, where he remained until he died on 17 October.
His family are aware and are being supported by specially trained police officers.
The incident was initially investigated by officers in Kensington and Chelsea. Following Omarkafi's death they have passed the investigation to homicide detectives, led by Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell
DCI Foxwell said, “This is a tragic development in this investigation and my thoughts are with Omarkafi’s family at this time.
“Three men have been charged as part of this investigation prior to Omarkafi’s death and work is ongoing to review those charges as appropriate.
“I would stress however that charges do not indicate the end of our investigation and I would ask anyone with any information who has not already spoken to police to get in touch at the earliest opportunity. Your information could still be vital to our investigation.”
Superintendent Owen Renowden, responsible for policing in Kensington and Chelsea, said, “This is a shocking incident in which a young man has been fatally injured. Officers have worked swiftly to identify those involved and bring charges, and that work continues.
"There has been an increased police presence in the area, which has included the Neighbourhood Policing Teams supported by both specialist officers and partners in the local authority. Any local residents with concerns should speak to an officer or call 101.”
Following the death, the police will liaise with the Crown Prosecution Service as to whether any of these charges will be amended.
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or post @MetCC ref CAD 7105/30SEP.
