The 49-year-old man, named locally as Wayne Broadhurst, was killed on Monday evening (October 27) in Uxbridge.

Two others were also injured in what police called a “senseless act of violence”.

One neighbour who did not want to be named said Mr Broadhurst was a binman who was “just doing the normal dog walk that he does every day”.

“I’ve been here two years and would see him walk past the window,” she said.

She described him as “the last person on Earth that you would think somebody would go for”.

She said she took some flowers and a box of shortbread over for his partner and added: “I still can’t get over it.

“If he was five or 10 minutes later taking the dog out would the same thing have happened?”

Police and ambulance crews were called to Midhurst Gardens in Uxbridge at around 5pm
