Met Police appeal to witnesses over Abbey Wood murder

Met Police say their murder investigation is moving at pace, but detectives are appealing for anyone with information or footage to come forward as it is "very likely" that a number of people saw what happened.

Mazaza Owusu-Mensah was tragically stabbed to death on Edington Road in Greenwich during what was believed to be a fight.

Police and paramedics were called to reports of the fight at 5:30pm on March 6 and found the 18-year-old suffering from serious stab wounds to the chest.

He sadly died at the scene.

Met Police called it a "senseless attack on a young man that has left a family grieving," and officers are now urging anyone with information to come forward to help get justice for Mazaza.

Detective Chief Inspector Darren Jones, who is leading the investigation, said Mazaza died on a residential street during lockdown when people would have been at home.

"It is very likely that a number of people saw what happened and I am keen to hear from anyone who has information but is yet to come forward."

“Were you in Edington Road around the time of the incident? Did you drive through the area and perhaps have dash-cam footage that could assist my team?
