Man knifed to death in packed wine bar

Josh Hanson, 21, died after being stabbed in the neck in front of dozens of revellers

A MAN has died after being stabbed in the neck in front of dozens of revellers at a packed wine bar.

Josh Hanson, 21, was killed at the RE Bar in Eastcote, North West London, in the early hours of this morning.

Murder cops have launched an investigation and are trying to trace around 40 people who were at the bar when the stabbing happened.

Detective Chief Inspector Noel McHugh, who is leading the Met Police investigation, said: “I am appealing to anyone who was in the RE bar between midnight and the time of the incident, just after 1am, to contact us.

“It is believed there would have been around 40 people present at the time of the incident, many of whom left the venue as paramedics worked to save Josh’s life.

“It is imperative these people contact us to let us know what they saw.”

A post mortem is due to take place later.
