The victim was named by police as Fuad Buraleh, from Hayes, west London.

The pair were taking a short-cut through Dean Gardens, in Ealing, west London when an argument broke out and the attack happened.

Mr Buraleh was beaten about the head with a blunt instrument.

He was found with serious head injuries by a member of the public. He was taken to hospital but died less than 40 minutes later. His friend escaped unharmed.

Scotland Yard launched a murder inquiry and forensic teams began an intensive search of the park for clues.

A police spokesman said: "Police were called at approximately 1.18am today to reports of a male injured in Dean Gardens, West Ealing. Police and London Ambulance attended and found a male, believed to be 19 years-old, suffering from a head injury. He was taken to a west London hospital where his life was pronounced extinct at 1.57am.

"At this early stage we believe the victim had been socialising in the Ealing area and was making his way home when he and a friend got into a dispute after exiting a bus on Northfield Avenue, close to where the man was found."

The murder happened in a park near a busy shopping street in an area popular with migrants.

It has a thriving Polish community dating back many decades and many Somalis.
