Police
were called to the scene of a stabbing in October 2019.
The
victim, a 29-year-old man, then reported
that he had been held against his will for five days by a group of men.
He
said he was scared for his life and had been physically assaulted.
The
victim also alleged that he had witnessed a stabbing committed by Fidow and
positively identified him.
Fidow
was arrested and charged with kidnap, false imprisonment, actual bodily harm,
bodily harm, affray and Section 18 - wounding with intent.
A
further investigation was carried out by West Area CID following the arrest of
Fidow in the home address of a second victim, a 58-year-old man.
Detective
Constable Radford gained the trust and confidence of the second victim who disclosed to her that he had been forced
to allow a gang to use his home and to deal drugs out of his flat by them.
An
operation was launched by officers from across the West Area, along with
Hounslow Council and other partnership agencies, who took part in the execution
of thirteen warrants in Hounslow last December.
