A man named Kamar Williams, aged 33, is currently being sought by the police in connection with a fatal stabbing incident that occurred in Stoke Newington on the evening of July 30. The victim of the attack was bus driver Derek Neil Thomas, aged 53, who tragically lost his life.
Efforts have been ongoing to locate Williams, who resides in Isle of Dogs. The most recent sighting of him was on August 3 when police tried to intercept a car in southeast London. Upon being approached by officers in Westbourne Avenue at the junction with Burnt Ash Hill, the car swiftly sped away, causing minor injuries to several individuals in the process. Williams managed to escape the scene, but a woman was apprehended.
Following the incident, it was reported that Williams sustained a leg injury, which necessitated medical attention at a hospital. Presently, authorities suspect that he may have fled to Devon or Cornwall and have traced him to the Camborne area.
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Rogers has issued a plea to the public, urging anyone who spots Williams to contact emergency services immediately rather than attempting to approach him directly. He also implored individuals with information regarding Williams’ whereabouts to come forward promptly.
Furthermore, it is believed that Williams is receiving assistance in terms of transportation and accommodation. DCI Rogers warned that those aiding him could face severe consequences, including potential imprisonment.
On August 3, a 30-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of aiding an offender and was subsequently released on bail. Anyone with relevant information is encouraged to reach out to the incident room or contact Crimestoppers anonymously.
In light of these developments, it is crucial for community members to remain vigilant and cooperate with law enforcement to ensure the swift apprehension of Kamar Williams. Your assistance could play a vital role in bringing him to justice and obtaining closure for the victim’s loved ones.
