DETECTIVES investigating the murder of a man in Acton have made an arrest. 

A 19-year-old woman was arrested at an address in Redbridge on Wednesday, 7 December on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.

She has been bailed to return on a date in early January 2017 pending further enquiries.

The victim has been formally identified as Khalid Safi, 18, who was recently living in Southwark but had links to Wembley, Peterborough and Walsall.

On Thursday, 1 December police were called to Victoria Road, W3 at about 6:30pm following reports of a fight.

Officers and the London Ambulance Service (LAS) attended and found Khalid suffering from stab injuries.

He was taken by LAS to a west London hospital where he died a short time later.

A post-mortem examination on Friday, 2 December at Uxbridge Mortuary gave cause of death as a stab wound to the heart.

Detectives continue to appeal for witnesses or anyone with information to contact them.

Detective Chief Inspector Sam Price, who is leading the investigation for the Homicide and Major Crime Command, said: "There were a lot of people in the area of Victoria Road at the time of the incident and, while we have spoken to several people, I believe that not everyone has come forward at this time.

"I am continuing to appeal for anyone who witnessed the fatal stabbing or the moments leading up to it to contact officers in the incident room.

"I would urge anyone who can assist our investigation to come forward as soon as possible."

Anyone with information is asked to call the police incident room on 020 8721 4054. To give information anonymously contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or visit www.crimestoppers-uk.org
