Detectives investigating the death of a man in Bowes Park have released his name

A young man who was stabbed to death in Bowes Park this week has been named as 22-year-old Emiliano Hasanpapaj.

Police were called at 11.50pm on Tuesday, 11th July to reports of a group of people fighting in Berkshire Gardens. At around the same time a man – Emiliano – attended a North London hospital with a stab wound. Despite the efforts of medical staff, he died a short time later.

A 24-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder has been released on police bail until a date in October.

Emiliano’s family are being supported by specially trained officers. Enquires by detectives from the Met’s specialist crime command are ongoing to establish the circumstances.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call 101 quoting CAD 8977/11Jul. To remain 100% anonymous contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
