Two men have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man was stabbed to death in an apartment in Kensington.
Fifty-five-year-old Julian Aubrey was discovered with multiple stab wounds in his home on Warwick Road, West Kensington, on Monday afternoon.
Mr Aubrey, who lived in a modern flat in the Shaftsbury Avenue complex, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers arrived at the scene just after 1.45pm and a 48-year-old man and a 56-year-old man were arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder.
Police are appealing for anyone who may have seen or heard anything at the time of the murder to come forward.
DCI Luke Marks, said: “I am appealing for anyone who was recently in the area of Shaftesbury Place and who may have heard a disturbance coming from one of the flats to contact us.
“I would also like to hear from anyone who may know why Julian was targeted in his own home in such a violent way.
“Any piece of information, however small, may prove vital to my investigation.”
Mr Aubrey’s next of kin have been informed.
The two suspects remain in custody at a west London police station and enquiries continue.
