A 44-year-old man was arrested at a property in Southall in the early hours of Thursday on suspicion of murder. He remains in custody. Detective Chief Inspector Jim Eastwood, who led the investigation, said: “I would like to thank the public for their overwhelming support following this horrific incident. As a result of yesterday’s release of CCTV footage, an arrest has been made and the investigation is progressing apace. “Mr O’Halloran’s family have been informed of this development and continue to be supported by specially trained officers. I will reiterate their earlier request that their privacy be respected by all as they continue to come to terms with their tragic loss.” Meanwhile, the community in Greenford paid tribute to Mr O’Halloran describing him as a “nice old man” who raised a smile with his hustle and general neighbourhood. Hitesh Patel, 62, a shop owner in nearby Greenford Station, told the Standard: “He always had a Ukrainian flag on the front of his basket. It read “Help for Ukraine.” He was a very nice, kind man. “I saw him shortly before he was killed going up the A40 on his scooter. I was filling up gas but I wish I had said something. His wife was also always with him on her mobility scooter. “He told me he was Irish and had three sons. It’s so sad. I can’t believe someone would hurt him in the middle of the day like that. We will miss him and his game here.” Simran Advani, 25, a senior property manager, said: “We always saw him on his mobility scooter — he was always smiling, he was a nice old man… This is a very quiet area, you never hear any noise on this road. “It’s scary for a man in his eighties to be killed here.” Neighbors said Mr O’Halloran was affectionately known as ‘Uncle Tom’ and had lived in Greenford since the 1970s. A neighbor said: “I’m really upset. He always said hello. I saw his boys grow up on the street.” Medical examiners were seen on Wednesday loading bags into police vans as dozens of officers guarded the scene. A cordon had been thrown around the residential area of semi-detached houses. It covers a T-junction between Cayton Road and Runnymede Gardens. Anyone with information that could help police should call 101 ref CAD 4691/16 Aug.
