An airport worker was knocked down and killed by a car as he crossed a road near Heathrow.

Hussain Osman, 39, from Hounslow, was walking across the Southern Perimeter Road, at the junction with Scylla Road close to Terminal 4, when a silver Hyundai Getz hit him at 10.10pm on Saturday, May 23.

Police have appealed for witnesses but did not arrest the driver, who escaped with minor injuries.

Somalian-born Mr Osman, who worked for a catering company at the airport, was pronounced dead at the scene.

A postmortem examination at Hillingdon mortuary on Tuesday found the cause of death was from multiple injuries. An inquest was opened and adjourned.
