Crime reporter(wp/es):::

A man found stabbed to death in west London last week has been named by police as Polish national Kamil Malysz.

The body of Mr Malysz was found in a shared house in Alfred Road, Acton, on the morning of January 27.

Police were called after concerns were raised for Mr Malysz's welfare. The 34-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene.

A post-mortem examination found the cause of death to be haemorrhaging due to a stab wound. It is believed he may have been dead for several days before his body was found.

The murder was the seventh in the capital so far this year.

A 33-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder on January 27 and has been bailed until February 20, Scotland Yard said.

Investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector Katherine Goodwin said: "I would like to appeal to anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious in the vicinity of Alfred Road from the early hours of Wednesday January 23 until Sunday January 27 to contact the team.

"We believe Mr Malysz's death could have taken place as early as the Wednesday prior to him being found."

Last week neighbours reported being woken in the early hours by screming from the four-storey house in Alfred Road.

Olah Hakim, 30, a PhD student, said: “I heard a really loud scream. It woke me up, and my baby son. It was a young woman’s scream and it went on for about 10 seconds.”

Anyone with any information about the incident is asked to contact police or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
