PIO shopkeeper stabbed to death in London |
Scotland Yard on March 26 named the victim of a fatal stabbing in the London suburb of Pinner on March 24 as newsagent Ravi Katharkamar, as concern grows over the increasing number of stabbing incidents in the capital in recent weeks.Katharkamar, 54, was stabbed to death, when he opened his shop. A passerby found him collapsed inside the shop suffering from stab injuries. The London Ambulance Service pronounced him dead at the scene. No one has been arrested so far. Detective chief inspector Simon Stancombe said, “This was a vicious and unwarranted attack on a completely innocent man. Ravi`s attacker got away with a few pounds worth of coins, but he leaves behind a family utterly devastated and a close-knit community asking who could do such a thing. “Help me catch the man who did this. The attacker fled with the shop till. Have you found this discarded or seen someone in possession of a shop till who wouldn`t normally have one? Do you know someone trying to use lots of loose change since yesterday morning?” Shop landlord Kirit Dodiya paid tributes to Katharkamar, telling the media, “He was a top guy. I would see him inside the shop. We manage other shops on the road.
