POLICE are appealing for eyewitnesses after a student was fatally stabbed outside a popular nightclub.

Paul Carr, 25, a student at Thames Valley University, Ealing, was stabbed after leaving the Boulevard nightclub, Ealing, in the early hours of last Wednesday.

Paul was originally from Omagh, Northern Ireland, but was living in Harrow Weald at the time of his death. He was chased by two men after allegedly assaulting a woman he had been talking to earlier.

The two men accompanying the woman intervened, a knife was produced by one of them and threats were made against Paul.

He ran off along the Ealing Broadway back towards the High Street with the two men in pursuit and attempted to gain entry to the lap dancing club LA Confidential but was refused access. He was then attacked by the two men outside the club, and stabbed.
