Tributes have been paid to the victim of a stabbing in Isleworth , who has been named locally as Sahil Roy.
Police were called to Summerwood Road, on Sunday (April 10), where a man believed to be aged 28 was pronounced dead at 5.18pm after reportedly being stabbed in the neck.
Perry Bentley said he had spoken to Sahil hours before he died.
"I was with him that day and we were chilling in the sun," he told getwestlondon.
"The last thing I said was "Whatsapp me", and now I'm never going to see him again.
"I grew up with him and he was a quiet guy. He always wanted to help people. It's just crazy. It always happens to the people who don't deserve it.
"He was a relaxed guy, always cracking jokes and trying to help people. He was a big friendly giant, such a kind and loving guy."
'Dispute over spliff'
Mr Bentley said he had heard Sahil was stabbed three times in the neck following a dispute over a spliff.
He said the Ivybridge estate had a bit of a reputation but it was totally undeserved.
"The estate's not even like that, even though people might say it is," he said.
"We're all just cool. We're just a big group of friends. There's never any commotion on that estate and this is a big shock to everyone."
Friends of the victim, who was reportedly stabbed in the neck, have also taken to Twitter and Facebook to pay their respects.

One man said it was the second stabbing in the space of a week on or around the Ivybridge estate.
