Police investigating the murder of a young man five years ago has made two
new arrests. The arrests today, Wednesday May 4, were made in the
investigation into the fatal stabbing of Adeniyi Lateef Shode (known as
Aden or Enda - pictured above) in Northoit in 2011.
Detectives from the Met's Homicide and Major Crime Command (HMCC)
arrested a 23-year-old man and a 24-year-old man on suspicion of
murder.
They were arrested at addresses in north London by
officers acting upon fresh information regarding the killing of the
21-year-old.
Following this new development, officers continue to
appeal for witnesses and information and are offering a reward of up to
£20,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest and
prosecution of the person or persons responsible.
Adeniyi, of
Edgware, was discovered collapsed close to the junction of Rowdell Road,
Ealing Road, and Kensington Road, at approximately 20:50hrs on 2 May
2011.
He had suffered stab injuries. He was taken to St Mary's Hospital and died of his injuries later that night. His
mother Antonia Francis said in an earlier appeal: "All our family
thinks about Aden every day. We remember his laugh and smile and he
always remains in our thoughts.
"It still hurts us to think that
whoever killed Aden is still out there and we pray that it doesn't
happen to anyone else's family. I would ask anyone who may be
able to help us to speak to the police. If you are not happy talking to
the police then please tell someone and get them to pass the information
on. What is important is that the police can track down whoever took my
son from us."
Detective Inspector Garry Moncrieff, from the Homicide and Major Crime Command, said:
"Although five years have passed, officers remain committed to bringing Aden's killers to justice. Allegiances
may have changed over this time and those who may know who is
responsible for Aden's death may not have the same sense of duty to
those involved. We strongly believe that people out there may know who
murdered Aden and why. Anyone with any detail, no matter how
minor, is urged to contact police. It may provide closure to Aden's
family who want to see justice done."
