Detectives investigating the murder of a man in a bookmakers’ shop in Morden have named the victim as Cypriot Andrew Iacovou.
The 55-year-old from the Sutton area was attacked in the Aberconway Road shop on Saturday, 25 May.
Officers were called by London Ambulance Service at around 10:30hrs to reports of a man suffering serious head injuries at the venue. Mr Iacovoa was pronounced dead at the scene.
A post-mortem examination held on Sunday, 26 May at St George’s Hospital mortuary, gave the cause of death as blunt trauma to the head.
