The Met Police launched a murder inquiry yesterday after 60-year-old Michalis Kyriacou died from injuries sustained in a street assault eight days earlier.
On Thursday, May 14, officers on patrol found Kyriacou severely wounded on Chippenham Road in Maida Vale at approximately 2:40am. Police provided first aid while awaiting the London Ambulance Service.

Specialist officers are currently supporting Kyriacou's relatives as the investigation continues. Authorities are working to "put together an exact picture of what took place" to establish accountability for the assault.
