Mohammed Hassan was stabbed to death

Mohammed Hassan, locally known as Bashir, died after being stabbed on the Winstanley Estate, SW11 on Wednesday, 3 August.

Police were called to the scene by the London Ambulance Service at 6.06pm on 3 August, and found the 35-year-old suffering a stab injury. He died there a short while later.
