‘Devastated' family pay tribute to grandfather murdered in his home
THE family of a pensioner who was murdered in his home said they are in 'complete shock' following his death. John Murray was found unconscious at home in Chiswick last year. Police officers were called to his address in Carlton Road, Chiswick on Saturday, October 12, 2024. Despite the efforts of emergency services to save his life, he was later pronounced dead at the scene. A post-mortem carried out later that month gave the 75-year-old's cause of death as a head injury. However, a murder investigation was now been launched by the Metropolitan Police after a pathology result found the injury had been caused by an assault. John Murray was murdered in his home In a statement issued today his family said they were 'devastated and in complete shock to learn that our dad and grandad was murdered'. 'John had so much more life to live,' they said. 'We are struggling to comprehend why someone would harm a 75-year-old defenceless man in his own home. 'We are appealing for anyone with information to please come forward and help the police get justice for our family.' Police issued a murder appeal today, calling for anyone with information related to the incident to come forward. 'John was a father and grandfather, and a well-liked neighbour who moved to Chiswick after retiring,' they said in a statement. 'Those who knew him said he was always offering to help others in the community. 'He was often seen riding his motorbike or in the communal gardens, which is where neighbours last saw him on Saturday, October 12, the day he died,' they confirmed. Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie, from the Met's Specialist Crime Command, is leading the investigation. 'My thoughts are very much with John's family and the community at this tragic time,' he said. 'As part of our investigation, we need the public's help to piece together what exactly took place,' he added. 'Every piece of information, no matter how small, could be crucial. 'If you were in the Chiswick area, especially near Carlton Road on Saturday, 12 October, you may be able to assist our investigation. 'Did you see or hear anything unusual around Carlton Road, for instance, any signs of a struggle or an argument? Do you have any CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage from the surrounding areas at the time of the incident? 'You may simply know John, or visited him at his flat. 'You may have spoken to him or noticed a change in him in the weeks leading up to his death. 'Anyone with any information is urged to call police on 101 providing the reference 5382/12Oct, or by visiting the Major Incident Public Portal Website. 'Information can also be provided to Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.' See More: Chiswick, Investigation, John Murray, Murder

More than 30 arrests made by police investigating disorder in Northern Ireland
Of those arrested, 23 people – including a 13-year-old girl and her mother – have been charged in connection with the violent scenes last week. The disorder started in Ballymena last Monday after an alleged sexual assault of a girl in the town last weekend. Two 14-year-old boys, who spoke to a court through a Romanian interpreter, have been charged with attempted rape. A peaceful protest last Monday evening about the alleged assault was followed by attacks on police and properties housing ethnic minorities. The PSNI described the scenes as 'racist thuggery'. The disturbances in the Co Antrim town continued for several nights and spread to other areas of Northern Ireland including Portadown, Larne, Belfast, Carrickfergus, Londonderry and Coleraine. Police said some largely peaceful protests took place on the Shankill Road and Shore Road in west and north Belfast, and in Clonavon Terrace and Waveney Road in Ballymena on Monday night. In a statement on Tuesday, police said officers investigating an arson attack on Larne Leisure Centre last Wednesday, have charged a 25-year-old man with perverting the course of justice. He was due before Ballymena Magistrates' Court on Tuesday. Meanwhile, police investigating disorder in Portadown last Thursday have charged two men. A 37-year-old man was charged with two counts of riot and appeared at Lisburn Magistrates' Court on Monday, and a 32-year-old man was charged with one count of riot and was to appear at Craigavon Magistrates' Court on Tuesday. Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson said police are continuing to review evidence gathered during disorder, and said more arrests are likely. 'Recent days have been calmer. However, this does not mean our investigations into those responsible for the racially-motivated attacks will lose momentum,' he said. 'We are continuing to review our evidence gathered over the days of disorder and are robustly investigating the disorder. 'We will be making more arrests and delivering justice to those responsible for these racially-motivated attacks and associated posts on social media. 'Our heightened presence in towns and cities and engagement will continue as we work to keep people safe. 'Everyone deserves to feel safe on our streets. So, just as we will seek justice for women and girls who report heinous crimes to us, we will also seek justice for local innocent families who are being targeted by criminality fuelled by hate. 'We will continue to robustly investigate the disorder over the last number of days but do not want to see any more young people criminalised by being caught up in this activity.'
