New Appeal Issued Over 1994 Murder

A fresh appeal for information has been launched in the unsolved murder of Atek Hussain in east London 20 years ago.

The father-of-three was stabbed to death outside his hime in Burnels Avenue, East Ham, in the early hours of 18 September 1994.

While the case has been reviewed a few times since his death, no-one has ever been charged in connection with Mr Hussain's murder.

The Metropolitan Police's Homicide and Major Crime Command have issued a new appeal for information on the murder, urging anyone who can help to contact them.
