POLICE IN LONDON are appealing for witnesses after the body of an Irishman was found in an alleyway over the weekend.
The man has been named locally as 37-year-old Wexford native Michael Hunt. His body was found in a bin early on Saturday morning. He was found seriously injured by a local shopkeeper and was taken by ambulance to Kings College Hospital, where he died shortly before midday.
Met Police say that a post-mortem examination will be held “in due course”.
The death is being treated as suspicious and an investigation is being led by officers from the Homicide & Major Crime Command.
DCI Diane Tudway said: “The man was found on his own, seriously injured, in an alleyway between an estate agents and a supermarket in Station Road, South Norwood.
“We do not know, at this time, how the victim sustained his injuries, nor have we established a motive for any attack on him.
