A 22-year-old Afghan national was arrested Monday evening following a fatal triple stabbing in Uxbridge that killed a 49-year-old man and injured two others. The suspect entered the UK illegally in a lorry in 2020 and was granted asylum in 2022.
The attack occurred around 5pm on Midhurst Gardens when the Afghan man allegedly stabbed three people during what witnesses described as an altercation. A 49-year-old dog walker died at the scene, while a 45-year-old man suffered life-changing injuries and a 14-year-old boy sustained non-life-threatening wounds.
Police arrested the suspect at the scene after deploying a Taser. The Home Office confirmed the man does not live in asylum hotels or official government accommodation, contrary to social media speculation. "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of those impacted by this horrific incident," a Home Office spokesperson said. "The priority must now be for the police to investigate so those responsible can be brought to justice."
Investigation Continues
Metropolitan Police are working to establish any relationship between the suspect and victims. The attack is not being treated as terrorism-related. Chief Superintendent Jill Horsfall called it "a shocking and senseless act of violence that has left one man dead and two others injured."
Officers deployed across the area will remain throughout the week to provide community reassurance. Police urged residents not to share sensitive footage online and asked witnesses to contact them on 101, quoting reference 5129/27OCT.
The incident has shaken the residential neighborhood, with locals describing the deceased victim as a gentle man who was simply walking his dog. Community members laid flowers at the scene Tuesday evening.
