Police Renew Appeal On Fifth Anniversary Of Edgware Murder
The Metropolitan Police have issued a new appeal for information on the fifth anniversary of the murder of Dr Imran Farooq.
Dr Farooq was attacked outside his home in Green Lane, Edgware in London, shortly before 17:30 on Thursday, 16 September, 2010.
The 50-year-old died as a result of multiple stab wounds and blunt trauma to the head. A five-and-a-half inch bladed kitchen knife and a house brick used in the attack were recovered at the scene.
Detectives from the Met Police Counter Terrorism Command (SO15) are investigating Dr Farooq's murder and to date they have spoken to 4,555 people, reviewed 7,697 documents, followed up 2,423 lines of inquiry and seized 4,325 exhibits.
It is thought Dr Farooq's murder would have required careful planning and help from other people, some of whom may have provided assistance or information unwittingly.
Officers have been in regular contact with the Pakistani authorities to gather evidence that could assist in bringing to justice the killers of Dr Imran Farooq. They have named two men as wanted in connection with the murder: Moshin Ali Syed, 30, a Pakistani national who was in the UK between February 2010 and 16 September 2010; and Muhammad Kashif Khan Kamran, 36, a Pakistani national who was in the UK between early September 2010 and 16 September 2010.
Anyone who can assist should call the police incident room on +44 (0)20 7230 2717 or contact the police by email at SO15Mailbox-.DrFarooqMurder@met.police.uk.
Alternatively, anyone who wishes to remain anonymous can call Crimestoppers, a charity independent of the police, on 0800 555 111 within the UK.
