A murder investigation has been launched after the body of a man was found in Greenford.

The deceased has been identified as Zbigniew Michniewicz, 36, of Greenford Road, and next of kin have been informed.

Police were called at about 12.30 last Thursday (December 5) following concerns for a resident at the aforementioned address, and pronounced a man dead at the scene.

A post-mortem examination took place at Uxbridge Mortuary last Friday (December 6) and the cause of death is not yet being issued.

Officers from the Homicide and Major Crime Command (HMCC) are investigating and police are appealing for neighbours or witnesses who may have seen anything or who may have witnessed a fight between three white males in this road on an evening two or three weeks ago.

Detectives said a grave was prepared for the victim in the back garden and are asking neighbours who may have seen anything suspicious to come forward.

A 20-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl were arrested in connection with the death and both have been bailed to a date later this month. A man has been charged with conspiring to prevent the lawful and decent burial of a dead body without lawful excuse.

Neighbours in Greenford Road reported seeing a few people living at the address, including mixed genders and different accents.

Ria Hidveghy, 56, said: "The forensics took boxes and bags away yesterday. It's not a nice feeling to know this has happened on your doorstep, it leaves you feeling uncomfortable. I'm concerned for my mum really. She's an elderly woman in her 80s."

Anyone with information should call 020 7321 7228, the police non-emergency line on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
