       Cops were called to the scene just before 1am on August 18 and the London Ambulance Service treated the 61-year-old.

       He was then taken to hospital in a critical condition - but he sadly died from his injuries on August 21.

       Police have launched a murder probe in a bid to understand the circumstances of Shamshi's death.

       A post mortem examination was carried out on 25 August and the cause of death was given as head injury, police confirmed.

       Cops have also arrested a 16-year-old on suspicion of murder following the investigation.

       He was taken into custody before being released on bail to a date in September.
