Police are renewing an appeal for information one year after the murder of a man in a restaurant Elephant and Castle last December.
Ian Gualavisi was stabbed while working at his family restaurant in Maldonado Walk, off Hampton Street, on December 14, 2021.
Police and paramedics were called at 7.46pm and Ian was pronounced dead at the scene.
A post-mortem on December 16 found that the cause of death was a single stab wound.
Police say that specially trained officers continue to support Ian’s family.
The investigation is still ongoing, and police are renewing their appeal for information about his death.
Police have released CCTV footage from inside the restaurant of the moments leading up to the attack.
It is now one year since Ian’s death and although ten people have been arrested, nobody has been charged.
If you witnessed the attack or have any further information, contact police quoting reference number 6908/14DEC.
Detective Chief Inspector Chris Wood, who is leading the investigation into Ian's murder, said: “It is now one year since Ian Gualavisi was murdered whilst working at his family’s restaurant.
“In the time since his murder ten people have been arrested, however no one has yet been charged.
"I remain convinced that there is evidence and information within the community that would assist in bringing Ian’s killers to justice that has not yet been disclosed to the investigation team.
“I would urge anyone who feels that they may know anything, however small, to contact us.
"What you know maybe vital. Ian’s family have had to endure the worst possible year.
“I have reassured them, and I would take this opportunity to reassure Londoners as a whole, that we will not stop in our pursuit of those responsible for this abhorrent crime.
“Again, if you have any information please come forward.”
