OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Middlesex County Warden’s Statement on the Fifth Anniversary of the Afzaal Family Death
MIDDLESEX COUNTY: On June 5, 2026, Middlesex County Warden Sue Clarke issued the following statement on behalf of County Council and residents of Middlesex County communities regarding the five-year anniversary of the deaths of the Afzaal family, who were killed in a hit-and-run crash while taking a Sunday evening walk in northwest London.
On Saturday June 6, we pause to remember and honour the Afzaal family, whose lives were taken in a senseless act of hate five years ago. We stand hand-in-hand with our neighbours in London, and across the country, as we reflect on this profound loss. In the years since, our communities have shown resilience and a shared commitment to being more inclusive and compassionate. Still, meaningful work remains. Middlesex County is dedicated to building a community where everyone feels safe, valued, and respected. Together, we can ensure that understanding and compassion guide our path forward.
