Police have named a suspect in the fatal shooting of a man outside a pub in north London and are urging the public not to approach him. Officers believe Abreham Woldegiworgis, 35, is the person seen in a CCTV image wearing a large frizzy wig as he left the scene, but they say he has since significantly altered his appearance.
Woldegiworgis is described as an Ethiopian national with links to the Enfield, Haringey and Brixton areas. The appeal comes after a 23-year-old man was arrested on Monday, 26 October on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder; he remains in police custody.
