  6.  » Afghan Arrested Over Fatal Stabbing of Dog Walker Entered UK Illegally in Back of Lorry

Will Jones – The Daily Sceptic Oct 28, 2025

An Afghan national arrested after a dog walker was killed in a triple stabbing entered the UK illegally in the back of a lorry. The Telegraph has the story.

A 22 year-old was arrested near Midhurst Gardens in Uxbridge after the attack at 5pm on Monday, the Metropolitan Police said.

A 49 year-old man was treated at the scene but died, while another man, aged 45, suffered life-changing injuries. A 14 year-old boy’s injuries were not life-threatening nor life-changing.

It is understood the Afghan national entered the UK clandestinely on a lorry in 2020 and was granted asylum and leave to remain in 2022.

The attack is not being treated as terrorism, and detectives are working to establish any relationship between the suspect and the three victims, the Met said.

Footage posted online appears to show the suspect walking along a residential street, before two police officers sprint after him, one pointing a Taser and shouting “drop the knife” and “get on the floor”.

According to residents, a fight had broken out involving the suspect, who was allegedly living as a lodger in the home of the 45 year-old for the past six months.

Officials said that social media claims that he was being housed in a hotel or any other Home Office accommodation were wrong.

Witnesses claimed the suspect chased two victims out of the house before the 49 year-old man, who was walking his dog at the time, tried to intervene. They claimed he was then cut across the neck.

Logan Woolley, 16, who lives on Midhurst Gardens, was watching TV when he saw a person “running with a knife in his hand, covered in blood”.

“I saw him get tasered and another person getting CPR.”

He said he had seen the victim walking his dog in the mornings and evenings.

The house where the attack took place had been undergoing renovations for the past few months, he said.

He had never seen the alleged perpetrator before and believed he had just moved in.

A witness told the Daily Mail: “A local man who was with his dog tried to stop it.

“There was blood everywhere and the paramedics were there for at least 30 minutes trying to save his life. It was absolute carnage and very distressing to see.”

One man, who lives just a few doors down from the 45 year-old, said the incident had shocked the local community.

Another local added: “The dead man is very well known around here. He’s a lovely guy, very gentle and peaceful. He was just trying to help and it’s ended up costing him his life.”
