Briefing note

Specialist Detectives investigating the murder of a 29-year-old man, named as Kalabe Legesse, are continuing to appeal for witnesses.

 

Kalabe was found with a fatal stab wound after police were called at 20:24hrs on Friday, 30 December to Peckham Rye Park and Common, close to the café off Strakers Road.

 

A post-mortem examination took place on Saturday, 31 December and found the cause of death to be a haemorrhage and a stab wound to the heart.

 

His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

 

Detective Chief Inspector Katherine Goodwin, from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said: "Kalabe's family and friends have been left devastated by his death, which occurred after a brutal and senseless attack when he was simply sitting in the park, minding his own business.

We have been working tirelessly to identify those responsible and are keen to hear from anyone who was in or around the park, particularly in the area near the café and playground, at about 20:00hrs. At this early stage in the investigation we believe we are looking for 2 suspects riding pedal bikes, who fled the scene towards Peckham Rye.”

 

Any who witnessed the incident, or who has information about what happened, is asked to call 101 with the reference 6165/30DEC.

 

Information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

As a postscript to this from May 2023: this week, 7 men have each been sentenced to 9 to 17 years imprisonment for their role in this shooting.

This seems like a good result for the Met Police and Crown Prosecution Service. 17 months between incident and sentencing is impressive considering the number of defendants and victims, the forensic evidence there must have been, and courts system totally underwater.

It seems like a bad result for the offenders, who have thrown their own lives in the bin for f*** all.
