Detectives investigating the murder of a man in Finchley have named the victim.
Formal identification has now taken place and the deceased has been identified as 23-year-old Seyyed Rasta Mir-Feyzi. His next-of-kin have been informed.
A post-mortem examination took place on Monday, 5 June, at Northwick Park Hospital Mortuary and gave the cause of death as a head injury.
Police were called at 20:35hrs on Wednesday, 31 May, to reports of a car in collision with a pedestrian in the car park of the Great North Leisure Park off High Road, Finchley.
Officers, the London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance attended.
Seyyed was taken by London’s Air Ambulance to an east London hospital. He was pronounced dead on Thursday, 1 June at 18:00hrs.
The car – a white BMW – was abandoned at the location but the driver and passenger fled the scene heading towards Finchley High Road. Enquiries continue to trace the driver of the BMW and any other people involved in the incident.
