Eniola Aluko, a teenager with
Nigerian heritage, has been shot dead in Plumstead, London
According to Metropolitan Police,
the force was alerted to a car park on Hartville Road, SE18 at 4:54pm on Friday
and Aluko was found with critical injuries which later led to his death.
A post-mortem examination, held
on Saturday at Greenwich Mortuary, gave the cause of death as a gunshot wound
to the neck and chest.
The police said they had arrested
an 18-year-old teenager on suspicion of murder while four others, who were
arrested earlier in relation to the crime, have been granted bail pending the
start of a trial in early July.
The police added that the
deceased next of kin had been informed of the incident.
“I am continuing to appeal for
anyone who was in the area at the time, who saw or heard anything suspicious to
contact police,” John Marriott, a detective, said.
“The shooting took place not far
from Plumstead Railway Station and I would urge anyone who was commuting to or
from this station to come forward. It was also sunny at the time and a number
of people would have been enjoying the weather in the area of Plumstead
Gardens; I need you to come forward.
“Although we have now made five
arrests I am continuing to ask for your help to progress this investigation.”
