Detectives investigating the murder of Rohan Trotman on Nunhead Green in 2023 have named a man they want to speak to. Crimestoppers is offering a £10,000 reward.

Detectives investigating the murder of Rohan Trotman on Nunhead Green have named a man they want to speak to. Rohan, 26, died after being stabbed on the green on 25 June 2023.

The Metropolitan Police published the appeal on Tuesday 10 November (Metropolitan Police). More than three years on, the force says the investigation is still open.

What the police have said

The Met’s statement sets out the following:

  • Detectives want to speak to Musa Sillah, 23, from Walworth, in connection with the investigation.
  • He is thought to be in The Gambia and has links to Spain and Germany.
  • Police believe he left the UK after the murder, and say extensive efforts to trace him are continuing.
  • Crimestoppers, an independent charity, is offering a reward of up to £10,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

The force has not said that he has been charged with any offence. Being named in an appeal is not a finding of guilt.

Detective Chief Inspector Lucie Card, who is leading the investigation, said: “More than three years on from Rohan’s murder, our determination to secure justice for him and his family remains unwavering.”

She added: “We believe there are people who have information that could help us identify and locate others involved.”

Rohan’s mother said in the statement: “Our son’s life mattered, and his loss must not go unanswered.”
