A homicide investigation has been launched after a 19-year-old man was stabbed to death in west London.

The household and buddies of Tyler Donnelly are inconsolable, detectives say.

Mr Donnelly had left dwelling on Wednesday night time, and runners discovered his physique in a park early on Thursday.

Officers have been referred to as to Hanworth Park, Feltham, at round 7.40am, the Metropolitan Police stated. They discovered he had been stabbed.

Against the law scene remained in place in the park on Thursday and was anticipated to keep in place for a number of days. No arrests have been made.

After Mr Donnelly had left dwelling at 9.10pm on Wednesday, he rode his bike alongside Elmwood Avenue earlier than going to the park. He by no means returned dwelling, police stated.

A autopsy examination will likely be carried out, they added.

Chief Superintendent Sean Wilson, main policing in Hounslow, stated: “It saddens me to see another young life so needlessly cut short and I urge anyone who has information about who is responsible to get in touch with the investigation team.

“I know that this incident will be a shock for those living and working in the area and my officers will be conducting additional patrols to provide reassurance to the community.”

Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie, main the investigation by the Met’s Homicide Command, stated: “If you were in the park and saw something, regardless of the reason you were there, please do get in touch. Our focus is on what happened to Tyler and who was responsible.

“Similarly, if you were driving through Elmwood Avenue, returning home or out walking, did you notice anything? Did you perhaps see Tyler, who was wearing dark clothing, riding his grey bike or did you see him with anyone?

“The H25 bus route goes through Elmwood Avenue: were you travelling through this area on Wednesday or in the early hours of Thursday? Did you see Tyler or anyone matching his description?

“Tyler’s family and friends are inconsolable after receiving the worst possible news imaginable – our thoughts are with them and they are being supported by specialist officers.”
