Kwabena Boateng, 20, of Dod Street, Limehouse, east London, is wanted by detectives investigating the fatal stabbing of a man on the Isle of Dogs.
They have named Boateng today as someone they urgently want to speak to in connection with their enquiries and released this photo of him. He is described as 6ft 2inches tall, of medium build with short hair and speaks with a London accent. He was last seen leaving a hotel in Commercial Road in Tower Hamlets on the afternoon of September 22nd.
The appeal comes after police were called at 8.26pm on Tuesday, September 21st to East Ferry Road, E14, following reports of a group of males fighting. Officers responded and found 33-year-old Mohamed Ensser suffering from stab injuries. Police administered CPR prior to the arrival of paramedics. Despite their best efforts to save his life Mohamed, who was from Leyton, was pronounced dead at the scene at 8.52pm.
A post-mortem examination took place on Thursday, September 23rd, and found the cause of Mohamed’s death to have been a stab wound to the neck and hypovolemic shock. A murder investigation has been launched by the Met’s Specialist Crime Command.
Detective Chief Inspector Larry Smith, who leads the investigation, said: “We would urgently like to speak to Kwabena Boateng in connection with the investigation. Anyone seeing Boateng should not approach him, but should call 999 immediately.
