DETECTIVES will return to the scene of an unsolved murder in Golders Green this week, eight months after an Albanian man was found dead with gunshots to his head and body.

The Metropolitan Police murder squad hopes to prompt anyone with information that could help them solve the killing of Cima Sogojeva to come forward.

It is also offering up to £20,000 for any information that could help them find the 27-year-old's killers.

Mr Sogojeva was found dead after armed police broke into a flat in Highfield Road on a Monday morning last October.

Neighbours had heard gunshots and screaming and more than 1,000 police were called to the scene.

It was later revealed that Mr Sogojeva had been shot several times in the head and torso, and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detective Inspector Andy Partridge, of the Met Homicide and Serious Crime Command, said detectives believe Mr Sogojeva was involved in stealing from parking meters.

He said: “Despite his choice to live this lifestyle, he did not deserve to die. His killers need to be brought to justice and this can only be done with help and support from the community.

"We would like to extend our appeals to the Albanian and Kosovan communities - we understand that Cima would often visit local Albanian or Kosovan coffee shops in northwest London and Reading, and that he embraced his culture through socialising with the community.

“We are keen to speak to anyone who has information.”

He asked for anyone who knows what led to Mr Sogojeva's death, has heard something from within the community or just saw something suspicious in Highfield Road on the day to come forward.

He added: "I understand that there may be people out there who feel apprehensive contacting us for whatever reason, but I am asking for these people to look to their conscience and do the right thing and help us find Cima's killers.

“Any information provided will be dealt with in the strictest confidence."
