Police Seeks Murder Witness

London detectives from the Met's Homicide and Serious Crime Command are appealing for witnesses who may have information about a murder.

They are probing the death of 30-year-old Ben Gardner who died on Throwley Way, Sutton on 1 November.

In particular, police are looking for a white man in his early 20s with short dark hair who was wearing jeans and a blue checked short-sleeved shirt.

He left Revolutions nightclub at approximately 3am and is not believed to be involved in the incident but was in the immediate vicinity of it when it took place.

DI Bob Campany, from the Homicide and Serious Crime Command, said: "This man may have information which is important to our investigation and we are eager to talk with him. We particularly would like to ask anyone who has any information about Ben's death to come and speak to us."

Anyone with information is being asked to call the Sutton incident room on 020 8721 4005 or, to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Two men have been charged in relation to this inquiry.
