Churchill Gardens Estate Pimlico stabbing: Suspect manhunt

Police are continuing to investigate the murder of Hani Hicham Abou El Kheir, who died after being stabbed while walking through the Churchill Gardens Estate on January 27, 2013.

Five people have been convicted of his murder and sentenced to a total of 131 years imprisonment after a trial at the Old Bailey in January 2014.

A hunt is still on for one last suspect, Dilawar Hussain.

There was an arrest warrant issued in March 2013, while Hussain fled to Bangladesh.

The warrant remains in place as he has not been seen since.

Hani’s mother said in a statement issued by police:  “It is now 12 years since my only son, Hani, was hunted down and attacked in a busy street by a group of feral men. While several people have been jailed for his murder, one suspect remains free.

“Hani was only a boy when he was killed – he had his whole life to live and this was brutally taken away. 

“The pain of his loss does not diminish with the passing of time and it only feels greater knowing Dilawar Hussain has evaded justice so far. If you can help, I would plead with you to get in contact with the police.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police by calling 101, quoting Op Jabalpur.
