Six men charged with helping ‘killer’ flee the country after he stabbed a young father to death outside a five-star H๏τel appear in court

We are pleading with anyone who has any information about this crime or the offender to come forward. Any information, no matter how small, could help our children to know their father’s life mattered.’

Detective Chief Inspector Samantha Townsend, from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said: ‘We continue to follow every possible line of enquiry as part of our investigation.

‘Our thoughts remain with Blue’s family, who continue to be supported by specialist officers.’

Detectives are investigating numerous motivations behind Mr Stevens’s death, including whether he was murdered in an attempted robbery over the gold timepiece he was wearing at the time.

Mr Stevens and his partner were heading for dinner at Nusr-Et, the steakhouse run by celebrity chef Salt Bae, when they were intercepted by the attacker.

A nearby H๏τel worker previously told the Daily Mail Mr Stevens was stabbed in the chest as the pair walked along the pavement.

Clement-Bryan, of Feltham, Alam, of Chiswick, Ali Hindawi, of Southall, Adan Hindawi, of Kensington, Meah, of Chiswick and McKoy, of Chiswick, are charged with perverting the course of justice.
