A murder investigation has been launched after a 38-year-old man was stabbed to death in east London last night (May 5). The emergency services raced to Corfield Street, E2, to reports of a fight.
There they found a 38-year-old man who’d been stabbed. He was pronounced dead at the scene. There have been no arrests and enquiries continue. A crime scene remains in place.
Anyone with information or dashcam, doorbell or mobile phone footage is asked to call police via 101 quoting reference CAD 6482/05May. You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Superintendent Alex Ogilvie, one of the senior officers responsible for policing in Tower Hamlets, said: “I recognise the impact this violent incident will have on the local community, especially as it happened in a residential street while many people would have been in their homes.
“We shall be supporting our colleagues in the Specialist Crime Command with their investigation, and you can expect to see officers in the area over the coming days. I encourage you to speak with them about anything you saw or heard, as well as any concerns you may have.”
