Indian man charged with fatal stabbing in London’s Southall

An Indian national has been charged with the fatal stabbing of a 26-year-old man, also an Indian, in the west London suburb of Southall, the Metropolitan Police said.

Navjot Singh, 20, was charged with murder, grievous bodily harm with intent and possessing an offensive weapon after his arrest on suspicion of the murder of Gurbhej Singh last week.

In the early hours of June 10, Gurbhej Singh was attacked on North Road, near the junction with Dormers Wells Lane, in Southall, along with another man in his 30s, who was treated at a hospital and has since been discharged. 

The Met Police said officers attended with paramedics after being called to the scene by the London Ambulance Service following the attack. However, despite the efforts of medical staff, Gurbhej Singh - who had suffered a knife wound - was pronounced dead at the scene.
