Images of witnesses released as police appeal for more information following Kilburn murder
Detectives investigating the murder of 20-year-old Malakai Ferguson-Ramson, who was fatally stabbed in a north-west London street, have released images of witnesses they urgently wish to identify.
The pictures show dozens of people around Ashmore Road and Drayford Close in Kilburn at the time of the murder.
Those captured on CCTV react in such a way that police believe they are likely to have witnessed the incident and therefore hold information that must be shared with officers.
Malakai died in Ashmore Road, W9, shortly after 20:50hrs on Tuesday, 26 May.
In the days following the stabbing, officers have made two arrests. A 21-year-old man remains in police custody on suspicion of murder. The 42-year-old man, who was arrested for conspiracy to murder, has since been released on bail pending further enquiries.
Detective Chief Inspector Paul Waller, who is leading the Met’s investigation, said: “I would like to reiterate that those pictured are believed to be witnesses. While I understand the challenges that come with talking to police, there are a range of ways to contact us - including completely anonymously.
“I urge people to put these complexities to one side and instead empathise with the grief Malakai’s loved ones are navigating at this moment in time.
“The information held by eyewitnesses is vital and could ultimately take us a step closer to securing justice.”
If you are one of the individuals in the photographs, or recognise anyone pictured, please phone 101 urgently and quote 8418/26MAY. Anonymous reports can be submitted to Crimestoppers via 0800 555 111 with the same reference.
Information can also be uploaded to the Met's Major Incident Public Portal.
