Man killed in 'gang attack'

A 26-year-old-man man has been shot dead in London in the latest attack by Sri Lankan gangs.

The victim was killed at a house in Lyon Park Avenue, Wembley, yesterday evening.

Two Asian men were spotted running from the scene. Police say it is too early to link the attack to others in London, where tensions between Sri Lankan groups have lead to a rise in violence.

In February an 18-year-old was found dead in a park in Kingsbury. This month a 19-year-old suffered serious head wounds in an attack in Croydon. Last August a gang stabbed a 25-year-old man with knives and swords, and in June a 25-year-old died in a sword attack in Brent.
