Police name man wanted in connection with Peckham murder

Detectives from the Metropolitan Police have publicly named Musa Sillah, 23, from Walworth, as an individual they wish to speak to as part of their ongoing investigation into the murder of Rohan Trotman. Mr Trotman, 26, died after sustaining stab wounds in Nunhead Green, Peckham, on June 25, 2023.

Although Yusuf Kallon, 29, was convicted of murder in 2024 and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 28 years, the investigation into Mr Trotman's death remains active. Officers believe there are others who may have been involved in the incident and are continuing efforts to identify and locate them.

Suspect believed to be abroad

The Metropolitan Police stated that they believe Musa Sillah left the UK following Mr Trotman's murder. Officers have indicated that he is thought to be in The Gambia, and also has connections to Spain and Germany. Detective Chief Inspector Lucie Card, who is leading the investigation, emphasised the continued determination to secure justice for Mr Trotman and his family, stating that the investigation continues despite the passage of time.

DCI Card appealed for anyone with information regarding Mr Sillah's whereabouts or any details surrounding the murder to come forward. She also directly urged Mr Sillah to contact the police.

Family appeal for answers

Rohan Trotman's mother has also made an appeal for information, highlighting the family's prolonged wait for justice since her son's death in 2023. She stated that the family has endured years of uncertainty and stressed that their son's life mattered and his loss should not go unanswered. She urged anyone with information, no matter how small, to contact the police or Crimestoppers anonymously, stating that the family deserves justice and those responsible must be held accountable.

Extensive inquiries have been conducted by detectives since the killing, including the review of CCTV footage, forensic examinations, house-to-house visits, and witness interviews. The independent charity Crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to £10,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for Mr Trotman's murder.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the police on 101, quoting reference CAD 8507/25June24, or to contact Crimestoppers anonymously.
