Appeal for information following Gregory Castillo Volquez’s murder in Haringey

Officers are urging Haringey residents to share any information related to the senseless murder of Gregory Castillo Volquez.

Gregory was stabbed to death in a brutal attack in an alley on Tiverton Road, Haringey at 04:55hrs on Monday, 13 January. Two men were charged with the murder of the 36-year-old, but police say further information is required to help their investigation.

Officers believe there may have been people in the area who saw the attack on Gregory and may have valuable information, who haven’t come forward. They are reminding the public if they do not feel comfortable speaking to police, they can do so anonymously.

Today, Wednesday, 12 March officers are visiting the scene to talk to the local people and encourage those with information to come forward.

Speaking outside the address where the murder took place two months ago, Detective Chief Inspector Jim Barry, who is leading the investigation in north London, said:

“This violent attack ripped a father away from his two children. Since January, the incident has massively impacted those close to Gregory and local residents.

“This is why it’s imperative we work together to secure justice. Anyone with information must share it with us, no matter how small they deem it to be. We are committed to working alongside those who provide statements throughout the judicial process.”

Gregory’s family, who continued to be supported by officers, added:

‘Gregory was a much-loved son, father and friend, and his family is heartbroken by this loss. Even the smallest detail could be crucial. Please come forward and help us get justice for Gregory.’

Specialist Crime officers urge the public to contact the police via 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, quoting 809/13JAN.

Information can also be shared and uploaded via the Major Incident Public Portal:
