Detective Chief Inspector Larry Smith said: “While we continue to work to piece together the events that led to Aron’s murder, I would appeal to anyone who was in the vicinity of Topham House in Prior Street from around 9.15pm to contact police.

“We believe Aron was attacked inside the flat where he was residing in Topham House so I am particularly keen to speak to anyone who let someone into the building prior to the murder or who saw anyone fleeing the scene.”

Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact the incident room on 020 8345 3985 or tweet @MetCC.
