Detectives investigating the murder in Hackney of Oluwamayowa Adeyemi, 21 also known as Samson, are appealing for information on a vehicle believed to have been used by the suspects.

The Metropolitan Police has issued an image of a car that was found abandoned in Cowper Road, Stoke Newington. The car, a large Volvo estate, was recovered on the morning of Saturday, June 6. It was not damaged when found and was bearing a false registration plate EX18EXE.

Detective Chief Inspector Paul Considine said: “Although we have made arrests, the Volvo remains a very important appeal point for us”.

“The car is a large estate vehicle and had some distinguishing features- there were scuff marks to both corners of the front bumper and the front passenger door mirror was held on with tape.”

Samson was fatally shot on June 5 in Brackenfield Close, Hackney. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

On June 13, detectives arrested a 21-year-old man on suspicion of being concerned with the murder. He has now been released on bail until early July.

Previously, a 22-year-old man and a 20-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of murder on June 6 and June 12 respectively have been released on bail to return on a date in early July.

Police have made appeals for more information regarding the car and the incident that has resulted in the loss of a man’s life.

Considine said: “I am very keen to hear from anyone who thinks they have seen this Volvo or knows who drives it. My officers and I need to hear from you if you have any information about his car, no matter how insignificant you may think it be, your information could be key to our investigation”.
