Indries Ali was a Bengalese seaman and was found murdered in his room at 19 Victoria Dock Road Canning Town.
He was found dead and terribly battered about the head in a locked, gas-filled room behind his shop. He was found by two friends and housemates that had gone to his room and when they pushed up a window they smelt gas and when they went in and lit the gas light they found Indries Ali lying between a table and a bed as though he had fallen from the bed. They said that they picked him up and put him on the bed and then saw blood on the floor.
