I was shocked and deeply saddened by the brutal killing of Michelle Sadio on Saturday, 14th December, on Gifford Road, Brent. My heartfelt condolences go out to the Michelle’s family and friends, and I am available to meet with the family at their convenience to offer any support I can.
I am working closely with the police, local organisations, and residents to ensure that every effort is being made to bring the perpetrators to justice and to prioritise the safety of local residents. Over the past few days, I have been in the area speaking directly with residents to reassure them that all relevant authorities including myself, the police, and the council are doing everything possible to support the community during this difficult time.
I have also urgently met with Gold Command at the Metropolitan Police, who have oversight of these incidents and are coordinating the response on the ground. I have raised residents' concerns directly with them to ensure swift action is taken.
In response to these incidents, I urge anyone with any information to come forward. You can contact the police via the non-emergency number 101 or on ‘X’ @MetCC, quoting CAD7137/14Dec. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can make a report to Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers will never reveal your identity.

This tragic event has shaken our close community, and it is vital that we all come together to ensure justice is served and to support one another during this incredibly difficult time.
