Teenager Dies Murdered At Dean Gardens

23-year-old and a 63-year-old being questioned

A 23 year old and a 63 year old are now being questioned by detectives in connection with the murder of 19-year-old Fuad Burale in West Ealing.

Three men have already been arrested and bailed till a date in February. The murder enquiry was launched following the death in the early hours of Saturday at Dean Gardens off the Uxbridge Road.

Police are still appealing for witnesses and anyone with information can contact Detective Chief Inspector Andy Mortimer on 020 7321 9251 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Scotland Yard said he had been attacked with a "blunt instrument" and a murder inquiry has been launched.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Police were called at approximately 1.18 today to reports of a male injured in Dean Gardens, West Ealing, W13.

"Police and London Ambulance attended and found a male, believed to be 19 years old, suffering from a head injury. He was taken to a west London hospital where his life was pronounced extinct at 1.57am."

He and a friend are believed to have become involved in a dispute after they got off a bus on their way home from a night out.

The police spokesman added: “At this early stage we believe the victim had been socialising in the Ealing area and was making his way home when he and a friend got

into a dispute after exiting a bus on Heathfield Avenue, close to where the man was found."

Teams of forensic officers in blue boiler suits were seen searching the park, off Uxbridge Road, until early on Saturday afternoon. They were seen picking their way carefully through the grass and examining a spot on the path near the children's playground.

Local residents told press the park has become a hive for

local gangs in recent years.

Paul Jones, 39, a painter and decorator, said five years ago the park was safe for children, but had become a no-go area.

He said: "It's a rough park at night-time, with lots of people drinking in there. There's always people arguing. You can't go in there with your kids any more."
