Detective Chief Inspector Alan Weekes said police want to speak to anyone who was at the party or anyone who might have footage from the area in the early hours of today.
He said: “The loss of a young life in such sudden and violent circumstances is an absolute tragedy and we are treating this incident very seriously and doing everything we can to identify those responsible.
“We are continuing to support this young man’s family at what is clearly an incredibly difficult time for them, and we are committed to getting them the answers they need as we progress our enquiries.
“Our investigation is still in its very early stages and we are carrying out extensive inquiries to build up a picture of the full circumstances of this incident.
“We are aware there were a large number of people attending a party at the address when the victim was attacked, and we are keen to speak to anyone who was there and who witnessed any part of this incident.
“We would also like to hear from anyone in the area around the time of the incident who has any relevant CCTV, phone or dashcam footage that could assist the investigation.”
He added that officers would maintain an increased presence in the area to reassure the local community.
Anyone with information has been urged to call 101 quoting Operation Pedalbourne, or to get in touch via the West Yorkshire Police website.
Weekly Islamic terror attacks which target Western nations and Christian communities in the Arab world. Thank your local multi cult liberal. They were warned time and time again, but nope they wouldn’t listen. They always have and will continue to stick their fingers in their ears, and scream racist at any opposition to the open border liberal agenda.
Was only thinking this yesterday but does Grafton street even have any bollards to prevent a truck from mowing down pedestrians? From my knowledge I don’t think it does. I know the threat level here is not likely but it wouldn’t hurt to put something in place.
@Greg Cavey:
That would need some forward thinking on behalf of our politicians etc, they are not exactly known for that in fairness.
Both Grafton and Henry St have easy access from main roads with heavy traffic, no bollards as far as I’m aware either, a disaster waiting to happen.
@CatManDo: all religion poisons the minds of mankind.
@Greg Cavey: people over here were convinced the threat was almost non existent up til friday.
I think he should do life in Uzbekistan not Sweden. Swedish jail would be too nice for him.
@Catmando…Well said Cat, accurate and perfectly captures the reality. These guys will look back in years to come and wonder just why it was so easy take over Europe.
Then they will recall actually being invited in…in their droves…
Someone needs to asked the Swedish Police why was the terrorist not detained and deported when his residency application was rejected in the first place.
The knife Jihad that occurred in an IKEA store in Sweden 2015, well that terrorist faced deportation too.
@Lepanto: Not the polices fault. Fault lies with the govt. The policy is to tell people they are being deported weeks before they are! So most run away (well duh) when the police arrive on the date set by migration, they are long gone. head of Migration has a lot to answer for. Same idiot who let I thousands of people unchecked 2 years ago.
@iMoan Brutal: yeah I think a late night raid would be a better job and the satisfaction of ripping the Tossers from they’re beds and landing them
On the next plane to whatever dive they came from.
Go dtachtóidh an diabhal é.
Perhaps it’s harse but anyone on a police watch list for Jahadi sympathies….Who is a asylum seeker and not a EU citizen should be deported immediately…..France has several thousand such peoole they should all be deported…If needed their home muslim countries should be paid to take them back….
Trump is a genius with very special foresight. Didn’t he say a month or so back “did you see what happened in Sweden last night”?
have your say
