A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as stab injuries. 

Three men have been charged with Mr Keise’s murder and are next due to appear at the Old Bailey on Tuesday, January 24. 

Officers believe the two men in the images may have witnessed the incident but have not yet come forward.

Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie, from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said: ‘If you are the people in these images, or if you know who they are, then I urge you to please get in touch with us.

‘I’d like to stress that you are not in any trouble. We believe that you may have important information relating to the brutal murder of Adrian outside the Cubana Restaurant.

‘Please, do the right thing and contact my team today – of if you’d prefer to stay anonymous then contact the independent charity Crimestoppers.’

It comes as data revealed that the Met Police responded to 13,405 incidents involving knives in just 12 months, in a further sign Lawless London has become the knife crime capital of the country.

Between October 2021 and June 2022, 49,991 non-fatal crimes using knives were recorded across England and Wales, according to crime survey data released by the Office for National Statistics.
