Busy B.O.B. Squad Probe Another Shooting


Operation Trident police are still appealing for witnesses to come forward to help solve the violent murder of a South London teenager – shot dead on a notorious estate.

Nana Darko-Frempong, 18, (pictured) was shot outside Purser House, Tulse Hill just after 11:00pm on June 6.

He was pronounced dead at the scene and a post mortem examination gave the cause of death as two gunshot wounds.



Witnesses have told police they heard several gunshots and a vehicle leaving the scene. 



Detective Inspector Matt Gosling said: “This was a brutal murder of an innocent young man who had a bright future.

“Arrests have been made and our enquiries are progressing.

“However, I believe there are people within the local community who may hold vital information and I would urge them to come forward to help us achieve justice for Nana’s family.

“We understand the fear of witnesses in contacting police but Trident has extensive experience in witness protection and anonymity and have used these measures successfully on many occasions.”

Operation Trident investigates violent black-on-black crime in the capital.

Any witnesses or anyone with information should call the incident room on 020 8247 4554 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

On August 25 a 26 year-old man and a woman aged 22 were arrested on suspicion of murder and bailed to return in mid November, pending further inquiries.
