A man found dead in the boot of a burnt out car in south-east London has been identified by police.
Gagandip Singh, 21, from Bexleyheath, was discovered at 0200 GMT on Saturday in Angerstein Lane, Blackheath.
Detectives have now begun a murder inquiry and a post-mortem examination is due to be carried out in due course, the Metropolitan Police said.
Officers on patrol came across the burning vehicle, a blue Mercedes C-class, in a side street.
The car, with the number plate V362 SCL, was found near Greenwich Park.
Det Ch Insp Damian Allain said: "We are appealing for anyone who was in or around the Angerstein Lane area that may have seen this car either arrive or seen anyone acting suspiciously as the car was left ablaze, to contact us.
"We already know that the car was last seen around 5.30pm in south-east London, so we are also appealing to anyone who can help us identify how the car came to be in Angerstein Lane.
"At this early stage we don't believe that this was a random killing, and are exploring the line of inquiry that this was a targeted attack against our victim."
UPDATE: 28 FEB, 2011
Gagandip Singh, 21, the president of the British Sikh Student Federation and one of the owners of Sikh TV, a fledgling broadcaster, was said to be a leading light in the Sikh community and a "politician in the making".
Neighbours have linked Mr Singh's death to the murder of his father, Charanjit Singh, who died in a contract killing in India two years ago, although police are understood to doubt this is the case.
Two teenagers, a man and a woman both aged 19, have been arrested. They are understood not to be related to Mr Singh nor each other.
The body of the Mr Singh, who was keen on karate and football, was found shortly after 2am on Saturday morning.
It was found in the boot of his sister's blue Mercedes C-class car which was burning when police found it on a quiet lane off a dual carriageway on the edge of Greenwich Park in south east London. Mr Singh had borrowed the car earlier after his white BMW got a flat tyre.
