£10,000 Reward Announced in Hunt for Suspect After Fatal Hanwell Pub Stabbing
The charity Crimestoppers has issued a substantial £10,000 reward for information that leads directly to the arrest and successful prosecution of a murder suspect. This urgent appeal follows the tragic death of 33-year-old Dariusz Serafin, who was fatally stabbed in Hanwell, west London, on February 10 last year.
Victim Staggered into Pub with Fatal Wounds
In a harrowing sequence of events, Dariusz Serafin managed to stumble into a pub located on Oaklands Road at approximately 10:15 pm on the night of the attack. Despite the immediate efforts of emergency paramedics who rushed to the scene, Mr. Serafin was pronounced dead at the location. The Metropolitan Police have now formally named 34-year-old Siavosh Mohammad-Khani as the primary suspect wanted in connection with this murder investigation.
Police Release Critical Vehicle Footage
As part of their intensive investigative efforts, detectives have released specific CCTV footage captured on the day of the murder. The footage shows the suspect visiting a garage in the Marylebone area while driving a black BMW X4 vehicle. The car bears the registration number HV67 RZP. Authorities are urging anyone who may have seen this vehicle or has relevant dashcam or CCTV footage from that night to come forward immediately.
Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell emphasized the gravity of the case, stating: "Dariusz's death was a profound tragedy, and we are working tirelessly to secure justice for his grieving family. We have pieced together vital clues over the past year and now need the public's assistance. Even the smallest detail could prove crucial. We understand that coming forward can be daunting, but I urge anyone with information to contact police or Crimestoppers."
