The victim, who was named locally as ‘Zahir’, is thought to have lived in a nearby estate.
A security guard at the mosque said the men, who were both white with long hair, washed their faces and feet to appear as if they were arriving for prayers.
He told The Evening Standard: ‘We saw in the camera them changing clothes in the toilet area, one of them had a backpack and one of them had a side bag.
‘They change from hoodies into shirts and trousers and throw the other clothes on the floor. The police have those.’
Police have not arrested any one over the attack, but raided flats in a nearby buildings today as the hunt the killers.

‘We have been in close contact with the London Central Mosque since the incident happened. We thank them for their patience, cooperation and understanding.
‘Friday prayers will today be going ahead with little or no disruption. We do not believe the incident is connected to the mosque.

Man in his 30s stabbed in North London amid knife crime epidemic
A man in his 30s was stabbed in North London this morning as the capital’s knife crime epidemic continues.
Police were called to a junction near Seven Sisters Underground station in Tottenham shortly after 6.30am and found the injured man.
Scotland Yard said no arrests have been made over the stabbing, which left the man with non-life threatening injuries.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: ‘Police were called to High Road junction with Talbot Road at 6.35am on Friday following reports of a stabbing.
‘Officers and London Ambulance Service attended and found a male aged in his thirties suffering from stab injuries.
Last night, witnesses claimed two people were seen running into the mosque and officers later cordoned it off, believing the suspects had tried to hide there.
Officers searching the area cordoned off the London Central Mosque for more than five hours, with armed police at the gates as a helicopter circled overhead.
The cordon was finally moved at about 11.30pm, with the roads reopened and armed officers leaving the scene. Police said the attack was not terror-related.
Witness Bahir Moulana said that as he was walking towards the mosque the police were pushing people back before they closed the main gate.
With a number of armed officers at the scene, the 39-year-old said it gave him the ‘jitters’, especially following the recent attack at two mosques in New Zealand.
‘I saw all the blue lights and my heart was in my mouth,’ Mr Moulana said.
With worshippers eventually let out of the building, he added: ‘There was one girl who said she saw two guys run in. Someone else told me the police were chasing them.’
Mr Moulana said he saw two people being detained and put in handcuffs by the police at the mosque. ‘The police just surrounded them. I saw that at around 7pm,’ he added.
At the scene on Cunningham Place, a large collection of used and discarded medical equipment, bloodied bandages, bags, and other items could be seen in the middle of the road.

They can “wash” their feet as long as they want, the stench
comes from the inside. The Brits, who drive their cars on the
wrong side of the road, are unable to cope with the problem.
I advise you to do some research as there are a lot of countries that drive on the Left. Not the Wrong side. Long before cars were invented it was the custom to present your right hand to the oncoming travelers to show you carried no weapon. It was Napoleon the great war monger and conqueror of much of Europe who changed the rules for France and his conquered countries. So countries not affected by Napoleon mostly still drive on the left
So you know where to stick your pathetic little slur, I expect your mental age is about 10 years

I live in the USA. Are all of London’s leaders and law enforcement bought and paid for by Islam? Are British citizens ever going to say enough is enough and take a stand against Islam?
Tommy Robinson is trying to keep the UK free. Since it is the 21st Century, I do believe there will be a way for President Trump and Tommy Robinson to communicate to the people without using twitter or other socialist-owned media.
London’s Mayor is Islamic. As far as it is possible and to the best of his ability he probably fills positions around himself with other Muslims. That’s why none of these dozens of stabbings are terror related.

I greatly doubt the muhammadeans they interviewed were honest.
They said the men were white.
Arabs? Or pretenders?
They acted like they didn’t know them. I smell bull.
Perhaps but I would not put it past them to lie about them being white.
