NRI, a non-resident Indian shopkeeper, Siva Supramaniam , 33, was stabbed to death in Wembley in UK after intervening in an argument in his Harrow Road grocery last. The doctors reported that he had lost too much blood and his heart was too badly damaged.

Mr.Supramaniam tried to save his wife from abusive customers and told them to leave. After bad conversation, he followed them into nearby Tring Avenue and he was repeatedly stabbed in the chest. He staggered back to his shop before collapsing in the doorway and his last words to his 27-year-old wife were, "Honey, call the police, I can’t breathe."

Two men and a woman arrested in connection with the murder have been released. Inspector Andy Manning of the Met’s Specialist Crime Directorate has launched an appeal for witnesses.

  • Mr. Supramaniam was qualified as a lawyer, decided to give it up and decided to try his luck in the UK in 1999 to start business.
  • His sister said: "It was all coming together for him. He was getting a new house and they were going to start a family."
