A man arrested on suspicion of the murder of a postman has been released on bail.

Stephen Andrews, 46, of Old Oak Lane, Harlesden, died on Sunday.

Police were called at around 12.30am on that day to a fight near the Duke’s Head pub in Lower Richmond Road, Putney.

Officers and London Ambulance Service attended the scene and Mr Andrews was taken to St George’s Hospital suffering serious head injuries.

He was pronounced dead shortly before 6pm.
