A man found dead at his west London flat has been named as 65-year-old Michael O\u2019Donnell, as detectives continue to question a suspect on suspicion of his murder.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Police were called to a flat in Samara Drive, Southall on Wednesday after neighbours raised the alarm. <\/p>\n

Michael was found dead at the address, triggering a murder inquiry.<\/p>\n

The Met is appealing for anyone who may have seen him within the last two months to come forward. <\/p>\n

They have arrested a man, 54, on suspicion of murder and preventing the lawful burial of a body. <\/p>\n

A 28-year-old woman was also arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody.<\/p>\n

One of Michael\u2019s neighbours, a father-of-two, 43, told Metro: \u2018I am in complete shock. He was a lovely man. I have a disabled son, and he often helped me to get my disabled son on the special bus that takes him to school.<\/p>\n

\u2018It was so kind of him as he himself walked with a stick. He was always smiling, joking and was very well liked. We just don\u2019t know how or why this happened. As far as I know he had lived alone in the flat for around three years. He was never any trouble far from it. It was a pleasure to have him as a neighbour.\u2019<\/p>\n

He added: \u2018It\u2019s so nice around here I\u2019m just very confused over this devastating news.\u2019<\/p>\n

A mother of two from the block told Metro: \u2018We are very fearful. He was a nice man we cannot imagine anyone would want to do him harm. The police have told us nothing. Loads of them arrived and then forensics. We have never had this here it\u2019s a new development and very safe at least we thought. We even have a private security firm patrolling.\u2019<\/p>\n

The flat is in the Green Quarter \u2013 a project described by Berkeley Homes as \u2018one of West London\u2019s most exciting canalside destinations.\u2019<\/p>\n
