That assault victim, described as 6ft tall with short brown hair, had gone into Galleon Wine Stores with facial injuries and a black eye.“But there is no forensic evidence in this case and while a modern-day murder investigation would revolve around CCTV, there was none around this, so it’s very much the old-fashioned way of knocking on doors and speaking to people."

Police said the person who made the 999 call from a telephone box didn't leave their details and they would still like to speak with them. Anthony's cousin told LBC that Anthony had been a kind and gentle man and his death had broken his family's heart.Jagdish Patel, who owns the Express Mart on High Road, opposite East Finchley Station, and has lived next door to it since the 1970s, thinks police have missed their chance to catch the killer.

“It wasn’t very well publicised. Most of the neighbourhood, we knew them, and people used to come to the shop and there was never much discussion of that.“There’s not much hope of them finding them now - the whole estate has changed, and people have moved on.”
