UPDATE :
The man was stabbed and early indications lead police to believe that he might have known his attacker, though we do not know in what context or for how long.
He was attacked in the public toilets off Walton Bridge, a popular meeting place for men. The victim was gay and detectives are appealing for information not only from the general public, but also specifically from members of the gay community and other people who use these toilets. Anyone who was in the toilets or in the vicinity around 3 pm on Tuesday February 19th is asked to ring 0845 125 2222. You might not think you hold important information but please do call so that detectives can decide what is relevant to the investigation and build up a picture of what happened.
Surrey Police is aware that some members of the gay community might not wish to talk to police, but given the extremely violent nature of the attack, we would urge anyone with information to come forward. All information will be treated in the strictest confidence and police do not need to know why callers were in the area at the time. If people prefer, they can ring Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 to give their information anonymously.
Surrey Police cannot yet confirm the identity of the victim as some family members have yet to be informed of his death
