LONDON: Six years have passed since MQM leader Dr. Imran Farooq was killed in London on September 16, 2010, while on his way home from work but his family still awaits justice.

London’s Met Police Counter Terrorism Command (SO15) is investigating the incident.

Since the murder of Dr Farooq outside his home in Green Lane, Edgware, shortly before 17:30hrs, Met Police have spoken to 4,636 people, reviewed 7,801 documents, viewed 4,433 exhibits and followed up 2,443 lines of enquiry.

Dr Imran Farooq, 50, died as a result of multiple stab wounds and blunt trauma to his head. A five-and-a-half inch bladed kitchen knife and a house brick used in the attack were recovered at the scene, by the investigators.

Statement issued from London by the investigating authorities stated that officers have been in regular contact with the Pakistani authorities to gather evidence that could assist in bringing to justice the killers of Dr Imran Farooq.

“They have named two men as wanted in connection with the murder: Moshin Ali Syed, 31, (15.5.85) a Pakistani national who was in the UK between February 2010 and 16 September 2010; and Muhammad Kashif Khan Kamran, 37, (6.7.79) a Pakistani national who was in the UK between early September 2010 and 16 September 2010.”
