Further Appeal Made For Farooq's Murder

Detectives have recovered a five and a half inch-bladed kitchen knife and a house brick which were used in the attack on Dr Imran Farooq in Edgware two weeks ago.

The knife and brick were found in Green Lane where 50-year-old Dr Farooq was assaulted shortly before 5:30pm on Thursday, 16 September.

Officers are trying to trace two Asian men in connection with Dr Farooq's murder.

A motive has not been identified and no arrests have been made.

A number of witnesses have already contacted police, but officers believe there are other people who may hold vital information about the incident and they continue to urge them to come forward.

Officers from the Specialist Operations Counter Terrorism Command want to speak to anyone who saw the attack or was in the area at the time.
