A man who died after a broad daylight attack in east London was shot and stabbed, police say.
Emergency services rushed to the scene in Eagling Close, Bow, just before 4.30pm on Saturday where the 41-year-old man was lying injured.
Paramedics, including those from the Air Ambulance, battled to save his life but he was pronounced dead at the scene just over an hour later.
Detectives revealed on Sunday they believe the man was both shot and stabbed.
Police are now looking for anyone who may have seen what happened, including a woman wearing pink trousers who was spotted in the area.
Detective Chief Inspector Gary Holmes, from the Met’s Homicide and Major Crime Command said: "This was a violent murder that happened in broad daylight on a Saturday afternoon.
"There will be witnesses who have yet to speak with police who may have seen something significant.
“I want to hear from anyone with information, and in particular from anyone who may have seen or heard anything suspicious between around 4.20pm and 4.40pm in the area of Eagling Close.
He added: "I am aware of a white female wearing pink trousers who was seen in Eagling Close around the time of the murder.
“Even if she doesn't think she saw anything significant, it is vital that this person makes contact with police."
Two men have been arrested over the killing and remain in custody at east London police stations.
The latest attack came just a day after the WT launched an investigation into the capital's knife crime epidemic, with 11 Londoners killed in just 16 days.
