The young Pole was found dead in the early hours of Tuesday with “a number of stab injuries” in an alleyway off Church Gardens. Following the horrible discovery, the nearby Grange Primary School has been temporarily closed, the Sun reported.
The investigation is being led by Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie. „We have now made a second arrest, which we believe is a very significant one in this investigation. The victim and suspect were known to each other,” he told the media.
“We are examining CCTV and speaking to any witnesses who have come forward. However, we are always keen to hear from anyone else who has not yet spoken to us but who thinks they may have seen or heard anything, no matter how small, that could help,” he added.
He further urged “anyone who lives or was travelling in the area of South Ealing Road, between 11.15 pm on Monday, 16 May and 1 am the next day, or anyone who has CCTV or a doorbell camera, or a dashcam, to check it for anything that appears out of the ordinary.„

“This is a tragic incident that I know has come as a shock to the local community […] Officers remain at the scene as our searches and forensic examinations continue. We will also have additional visible patrols in the local area tonight and in the coming days,” Chief Superintendent Sean Wilson explained.
“We are grateful to those who live and work nearby for their support and understanding as we continue our work. We recognise the inconvenience it has caused […] Where possible we have taken steps to allow businesses and other venues such as the local church to reopen as soon as our investigation allowed […] I am particularly mindful of the proximity of this incident to a local school – something which meant the school had to remain closed on Tuesday, ” he added.
“We are working with the school to make sure children can continue their learning with minimal disruption. We anticipate it will be able to reopen from Wednesday morning,” Sean Wilson reassured.
