| Detective Chief Inspector Matt Bonner, of the homicide and serious crime command, leading the investigation, said: "I am seeking help from the local community to locate Dawda Jallow. I appeal to anyone who knows of his whereabouts, or has any information that could assist us, to come forward. | |
| "If Dawda is seen, please do not approach him but contact police. I appeal direct to Dawda to present himself at a police station so this matter can be dealt with. | |
| "There is no evidence to suggest this attack was gang related and Dogan did not have any history of gang activity." | |
| A 15-year-old male was arrested on suspicion of murder and a 39-year-old woman on suspicion of perverting the course of justice, but they were later bailed. | |
| Bonner added: "My thoughts go out to Dogan's family, who have been left devastated by his senseless killing. That it should happen at this time of year is all the more tragic. I would like to urge anyone with information about this incident to come forward and speak with my officers or, if they would prefer to remain anonymous, [with] Crimestoppers." | Bonner added: "My thoughts go out to Dogan's family, who have been left devastated by his senseless killing.
