Hunt for gay businessman's killer

A murder hunt has been launched following the discovery of a company director stabbed to death at his London home.

Martin Warwick, 43, director of an internet company, was found dead at his flat in Earl's Court by a colleague last Friday.

Police are "keeping an open mind" but are making inquiries at gay venues near his home which Mr Warwick may have visited on the night of his murder.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "We are anxious to trace anyone who knew Mr Warwick or anyone who saw him on Thursday night.

"He was believed to have been a homosexual and known to frequent pubs, clubs and restaurants in the Earl's Court area."

Anyone with information is asked to contact the incident room on 020 8358 1777 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
