WITNESSES are being sought by police to track the movements of a car they believe was involved in a stabbing inside an off licence.

Ameed Deen-Jah, of Canning Town, was murdered after suffering a stab wound to the heart in Freemasons Road, Canning Town at 3:30pm on Sunday, April 2.

A Black Mercedes CLK 220 was seen near to the A12 an hour before and was eventually found burnt out in Warren Road, Stratford, at 11:30pm the same day.

Police were called to the off licence after receiving a call. They arrived to find the 21-year-old inside the shop, suffering from a stab to the heart. Ameed Deen-Jah was pronounced dead at 3:40pm.

A post-mortem held at East Ham mortuary two day later confirmed this.

Five people have already been arrested in connection with the incident and have been bailed.

Anyone with any information should call 020 8345 1570.
