Indian man found dead following assault in UK

London, April 29

A 37-year-old Indian-origin man has been found dead after he was assaulted in an alleyway in west London and Scotland Yard detectives have launched an appeal for witnesses to identify the perpetrators.

Baljit Singh, who lived in the Hayes area of London, was pronounced dead at the scene after the Metropolitan Police and London Ambulance Service were called to Station Road on Saturday night.

A forensic post-mortem examination held at Fulham Mortuary in London on Monday gave the cause of his death as compression to the neck. Officers from the Met Police’s Specialist Crime Command (Homicide) are investigating the case. The Met’s Homicide team wants to trace two people Singh was in the company of just prior to his death. —PTI
