Two More Arrests Made in Brutal Samson Shooting
Detectives probing the murder of Oluwamayowa Adeyemi, aka Samson, have arrested two more suspects as they step up their hunt for answers. The 23-year-old woman and 28-year-old man were detained earlier this month in connection with the fatal shooting.
Samson Shot Dead on Brackenfield Close
Samson was gunned down at 11.30pm on Friday, 5 June, in Brackenfield Close, E5. Homicide detectives from the Specialist Crime Command are leading the intense investigation into his death.
Suspects Released Amid Ongoing Probe
- The 28-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday, 7 July, on suspicion of being involved in Samson’s murder. He has since been released on bail, set to return to police in early August.
- The 23-year-old woman, arrested the same day on suspicion of assisting an offender, remains under investigation but has been released without bail.
Detective Urges Witnesses to Speak Out
“A month has now passed since Samson was shot. His family are still struggling to come to terms with his death,” said Detective Chief Inspector Paul Considine.
“They are desperate to know why this happened to their loved one. I am convinced that people within the community hold that information.”
“I would urge them to do the right thing and contact my team or Crimestoppers to tell me who is responsible for Samson’s murder.”
