A man died after being slashed across the throat following a “petty” argument in west London on Monday.
Police were called to a housing estate in Isleworth at 4pm yesterday following reports of a stabbing in the street.
Officers found a man collapsed in the road and fought for over an hour to save him but he was pronounced dead at 5.18pm.
The 28-year-old victim was named locally as Sahil Roy and neighbours described how he was attacked in a “petty row over a few pounds”, just yards from the flat he shared with his family.
He is said to have been pushed to the ground and stabbed in the neck before his attackers fled.
Witnesses and friends told how the victim’s mother sobbed by his side as she cradled him while he lay in the road.
