Ten years after the fatal stabbing of Falwinder Singh Badesha in Belvedere, police are still searching for a 33-year-old man wanted in connection with his murder.
A £10,000 reward is on offer for information to trace Sukhdip Singh Chhina, who may have fled to Amritsar in India.
Despite ten years of UK enquiries to trace Chhina, his whereabouts remain unknown.
He is wanted for questioning in connection with the death of Mr Badesha, 27, who was stabbed to death just before 8pm in Belvedere on September 21, 2005.
The victim was pronounced dead at a house in Holmhurst Road after suffering stab wounds.
Falwinder Singh Badesha was stabbed to death in Belvedere.
Detectives believe a fight broke out between the victim and another resident about keeping the house tidy at a property in Holmhurst Road, which ended with Mr Badesha being fatally stabbed.
At the time four young men living at the address having visited from Amritsar City, in the state of Punjab, India, where officers have focused their appeal for information.
Chinna was aged 23 at the time of the incident and lived at the same address as the victim.
Detectives believe he was at the scene when the murder occurred and that he left the address before police arrived.
Police are trying to trace Sukhdip Singh Chhina.
Detective Chief Inspector Graeme Gwyn said all information will be treated in confidence.
He said: "Somebody knows where Chhina is. I appeal to anyone who knows his whereabouts to contact us immediately. Your call could help remove a murderer from the community, or may even eliminate a suspect from police enquiries.
"I believe that Sukhdip Singh Chhina has information that is vital to our investigation, or he may even be responsible for the murder.
"I am confident that we will eventually catch up with him, for this reason I urge Mr Chhina to come forward and speak with us now rather than continue to delay the inevitable."
Chhina is described as an Asian man, 5ft 9ins tall, with short dark hair.
When he left the house on the day of the murder, he had a cut on his forehead and was wearing brown shoes, dark trousers and a coloured checked shirt.
He may also have been carrying a plastic bag.
Anyone with information should call the incident room on 0208 721 4622, or email Graeme.gwyn@met.police.uk.
