Murder police offer £20k reward for mobile phone footage of stabbing attack

Detectives investigating a fatal knife attack are offering a £20,000 reward for video footage of the stabbing.

The Metropolitan Police said a crowd of up to 70 people are believed to have been present as Bilal Kargbo was stabbed to death in Peckham Rye, south-east London, on April 28.

The 26-year-old, from south London, was killed in broad daylight and detectives said people were seen filming at the time.

Relatives of the father-of-three said: "Please think of the trauma and hurt caused to our family.

"Our family is absolutely devastated with Bilal's loss; he was a wonderful father, partner, son and friend.

"Bilal meant so much to us and it is heart-breaking to know that we will never see or speak to him again.

"It is hard to put into words the suffering that this has caused our family and it will take a long time for us to come to terms with what has happened."

Detective Inspector Jason Grafham said: "Our inquiries have led us to believe that a large crowd gathered around the altercation Bilal was stabbed during - a crowd of around 60 to 70 people.

"Crucial to our investigation, the inquiry team believe a number of people recorded the attack on their mobile devices.

"Therefore we are now offering a reward of up to £20,000 for video footage that would assist and ultimately lead to the conviction of the person or persons responsible."
