Police plea over four-year-old murder puzzle

A SENIOR police detective has urged witnesses to come forward in a four-year-old murder case, saying anyone who speaks to the police 'is not a grass'.

He was speaking on the fourth anniversary of an unsolved fatal shooting in Manchester.

Police have a prime suspect for the murders, who is believed to come from Birmingham.

A gunman took the lives of both 36-year-old Junior Ajose and 21-year-old Cheriff Tall in the early hours of Sunday, June 21, 2020, in a car park off Caythorpe Street in Moss Side.

GMP launched Operation Tarnbrook, but vital evidence to apprehend the suspect who used the firearm is still needed.

In a statement, GMP said: "We strongly believe the person has connections to Birmingham and is not from the local community in Manchester."
