Police are appealing for witnesses and information in relation to the brutal murder of a Cricklewood man last month.

Jamie Graham, 29, was found lying next to a vehicle in Cool Oak Lane, Hendon, suffering from multiple injuries about just before midnight on May 23.

He was pronounced dead at Northwick Park Hospital just after 2am the following day, and a post mortem gave cause of death as being due to a sustained assault.

Officers specifically want to speak to three people who may have seen Jamie that night.

DCI Andrew Mortimer, who is leading the investigation said: "The first witness was the driver of a white transit van who was approached by three men in Cool Oak Lane.

"The second and third witnesses are a young Asian male and an older Asian male who stopped at the scene of what they may have believed to be a road traffic collision. They gave Jamie Graham a bottle of water and brought a cushion from their vehicle to make him more comfortable".

Anyone with information is asked to call the incident room on 020 7321 7228; or if they wish to remain anonymous, can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Two men have been charged in connection with the inquiry, and another two have been bailed to return in July pending further enquiries.
