Detectives investigating the murder of a man stabbed to death in south London have named a suspect they want to trace as part of ongoing inquiries into the killing.
Rohan Trotman, 26, died after he was stabbed in Nunhead Green, Peckham, on June 25, 2023. Although one man has already been convicted of murder, the Metropolitan Police said its investigation remains active and officers are continuing efforts to identify and locate others who may have been involved.
Suspect named and believed to have fled
Police have now publicly named Musa Sillah, 23, from Walworth, who they wish to speak to in connection with the case. Detectives believe Sillah left the UK following the murder and say he is thought to be in The Gambia. Officers added he also has links to Spain and Germany.
As part of renewed appeals for information, the independent charity Crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to £10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for Mr Trotman's murder.
Investigation continues after conviction
Detective Chief Inspector Lucie Card, who is leading the investigation, said officers remained determined to secure justice for Mr Trotman and his family. She said: "More than three years on from Rohan's murder, our determination to secure justice for him and his family remains unwavering.
"While one man has been convicted for his role in the attack, our investigation continues and we believe there are people who have information that could help us identify and locate others involved.
"Following a number of enquiries, we have now taken the decision to name an individual we wish to speak with in connection with the investigation and are urging anyone who knows where he is, or who has any information about the circumstances surrounding Rohan's murder, to come forward.
"We would also urge Sillah to contact police."
In 2024, Yusuf Kallon, 29, was convicted of murder and jailed for life with a minimum term of 28 years. However, detectives believe there are still outstanding lines of inquiry.
Family appeal for information
Mr Trotman's mother also appealed for information, saying the family had spent more than three years waiting for answers. She said: "Since the heartbreaking loss of our son in 2023, our family has been left waiting for justice.
"We have endured years of uncertainty and want to send a clear message. Our son's life mattered, and his loss must not go unanswered.
"We urge anyone with information that could help to come forward, either to the police or anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers. No piece of information is too small.
"Our family deserves justice, and those responsible must be held accountable."
Police said detectives have carried out extensive inquiries since the killing, including reviewing CCTV footage, conducting forensic examinations, carrying out house-to-house inquiries and speaking to witnesses.
Mick Duthie, director of operations at Crimestoppers, said: "Rohan's family have waited more than three years for justice and we believe there are people who may hold information that could help move this investigation forward.
"Our reward offer is designed to encourage anyone with information about the murder or the whereabouts of Musa Sillah to contact our charity."
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting CAD 8507/25June24, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously.
