Two years after a brutal stabbing left 23-year-old Rijkaard Siafa dead in Croydon, police are back on the trail of a key suspect still on the run.
Tragic Night in Fellmongers Yard
On 12 April 2024, Rijkaard was fatally stabbed in Fellmongers Yard just before 6pm. Despite desperate efforts by medics, air ambulance crews, and brave bystanders, he died at the scene within 30 minutes. Two men—David Walcott and Rammon Mali—have since been jailed for 27 years each for their roles in the murder.
Manhunt for Jordan Vincent Continues
But 29-year-old Jordan Vincent, believed to hail from South London, remains at large. Detectives are urgently seeking anyone with information on his whereabouts. Detective Chief Inspector Samantha Townsend, leading the investigation, said:
“Two years on from this horrific murder, our thoughts remain with Rijkaard’s family and friends. Rijkaard lost his life at a young age due to the actions of David Walcott and Rammon Mali, two dangerous and unpredictable individuals who have now been put behind bars.” “We are grateful to those who have come forward so far. It is clear the defendants acted as a team to find and viciously attack Rijkaard.” “We are renewing our appeal to the public for help finding the outstanding suspect, Vincent. Any information could lead us to him. My team will work tirelessly to bring all responsible to justice.”
Family Plea for Justice
Rijkaard’s mother, Hassanatu Bah, spoke from the heart:
“Rijkaard was deeply loved and is missed every day. Even after two years, the pain has not changed.” “We thank the police for their support and ask anyone with information to please come forward.” “No family should have to suffer like this. We want answers and justice for Rijkaard.”
