£20,000 Reward Offered In Park Murder
A family have appealed for witnesses to a murder in 2007, as police announce a £20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
Almost two years after the fatal shooting of 41-year old Moses Ssendawula in Camberwell, south London, his family are renewing an appeal for anyone with information to contact police.
Moses rarely took public transport, preferring to walk. At approx 12.55am on Saturday 8 September 2007, he was making his way through Burgess Park close to the entrance at St George's Way when he was shot. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A post mortem examination gave cause of death as a gunshot wound to the back, which penetrated his heart and lung. There was also an additional gunshot wound to the shoulder.
At the time of his death, Moses was wearing a blue checked shirt, black trousers and a light-coloured woollen hat.
Tony Ntege, Moses's cousin, said: "Moses was my cousin, we were very close. He was also my friend, someone who you could easily speak to if you had a problem, whether it was good or bad. You would happily talk to him. He was always there with an answer and one that you wanted to hear - he kept you smiling.
"He loved children. He cared for and entertained young people. Moses dedicated his life to steering teenagers away from crime. He was a very caring person, so I find it very hard to think that someone would shoot him. There are lots of questions that are left unanswered. Why would anyone want to kill a man who spent his time doing so much good?
"I would appeal to anyone with information, or who has heard about this murder, to please call the police so we can put our minds at peace."
Detective Chief Inspector Gordon Allison from Trident, said: "We remain committed to finding Moses's murderer. We have explored a number of lines of enquiry and hope that today's appeal will encourage more people to come forward."
