This is the face of a murder suspect police are offering a £20,000 reward to capture as they continue their hunt for the killer of a young Lithuanian man stabbed through the heart in a crowded house.
Tomas Lapsevic, 21, was fatally wounded on August 30, last year in Hyde Way, Hayes, West London.
Police are seeking fellow-Lithuanian Eineris Olsevicius, 26, (pictured), who lived at the address and fled, leaving personal items behind, after the murder.
“Despite releasing a picture of a man we wish to speak to in connection with this enquiry and offering a substantial reward, a full year-on, we have been unable to hold anyone to account for the death of Tomas,” said Detective Inspector David Kennett of the Met’s Homicide and Serious Crime Command.
“I have no doubt there are people out there who can assist us and ensure that those responsible for Tomas's death are identified and located so that they can be placed before the courts.”
Police were called at about 3am to a stabbing at a residential address occupied by up to nine people who were present when an argument started.
Many of them were either present or close by when the victim was stabbed.
Others, having been woken up by the noise came downstairs to find their friend/flatmate stabbed.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene and a post-mortem gave the cause of death as a single stab wound to the heart.
Any witnesses or anyone with information should call the incident room on 020 8247 7821 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
There have been no arrests at present.
