Detectives investigating the murder of Rohan Trotman, 26, who was stabbed to death in Nunhead Green, Peckham, in June 2023, have named a man they want to trace. Musa Sillah, 23, from Walworth, is believed to have fled the UK and is thought to be in The Gambia.

The Metropolitan Police released his photograph and said he also has links to Spain and Germany. Police believe he left the country after the murder, and say “extensive efforts” to trace him are continuing.

Yusuf Kallon, 29, was convicted of Rohan’s murder in 2024 and jailed for life with a minimum term of 28 years. Detectives say the investigation is still open.

What the police said

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.”

“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,” she said. “We would also urge Sillah to contact police.”
