London Briefs/

Detectives investigating a fatal stabbing in Tulse Hill have offered a cash reward in a new appeal to hunt the culprits.

Sixteen-year-old John Ogunjobi was murdered on November 5, 2018, in South London and police want to speak to anyone with information which could lead to the arrest or conviction of the person (or people) responsible for the vicious attack.

The Metropolitan Police is offering a reward of up to £20,000.

They also urged people who might have seen a black Audi Q5 car in the area at the time of the incident to also come forward.

Police were called to Greenleaf Close at 10.53pm on November 5, 2018.

When officers attended the scene with the London Ambulance Service, they found Ogunjobi collapsed in the street suffering from stab injuries.

Paramedics tried to save the victim but he was pronounced dead at the scene at 11.41pm.

A post-mortem took place at Greenwich Mortuary and gave the cause of death as a stab wound.
