The family of a man who was stabbed to death at his home paid tribute today to the “gentle giant” who would help anyone.

Paramedics found Warren Ramdeen, 31, unconscious with multiple stab wounds at his flat in Northolt at 4.15am on Saturday, five hours after neighbours reported hearing a disturbance. He was pronounced dead shortly afterwards.

His younger brother Aaron Ramdeen told the Standard: “My brother was one of the oldest in our family and always wanted to help anyone.

"He didn’t have much, but what he did have, he would give. The boys who did this obviously don’t know Warren. Anyone who did know him would never have done this.

“He suffered from mental health issues, he had had depression, so people who knew his situation would help him — he was very popular.” A neighbour who asked not to be named said: “He was a really nice, friendly guy who was always happy to chat. I don’t understand why anyone would do this.”

Floral tributes have been laid outside Mr Ramdeen’s 10th-floor flat, where he lived alone. One card said: “A gentle giant from the block. A life so young should never have been taken.”

Three men have been charged with murder. Two, aged 16 and 17, appeared in custody at Highbury Corner youth court yesterday. A third, Rishe Hugh Campbell, 18, of Pinner, was charged last night and was due to appear at the same court today.
