‘Do you know who they are?’: Footage released of suspects in Ronaldo Scott killing

The Met has released CCTV footage of two people suspected to be the killers of 21-year-old Ronaldo Scott, who was stabbed to death last week.

Mr Scott was found with “multiple knife wounds”, in Morrison Road, Brixton on Monday just after midday and reportedly died in front of his mother just after he was stabbed.

Neighbours said Mr Scott, known by the street name of Skengroy, was stabbed multiple times, and his sister raised the alarm as he lay dying at the gate of the park.

Despite the efforts of police and medics to save him, Ronaldo was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives investigating the killing are appealing for anyone with information who has not yet spoken to police to come forward as images of two suspects leaving the scene have been released.

Detective Chief Inspector Kate Blackburn, who leads the investigation, said: “I am extremely grateful to everyone who has come forward so far to help us piece together the circumstances of Ronaldo’s death, but we know there are more people that we still haven’t heard from, and we really need those people to get in touch.

“If you saw, or have heard anything since, no matter how insignificant you might think it is, at the very least your information could add certainty to details that we haven’t yet confirmed.

“I know that some people don’t want to speak to the police and I understand why. You may be frightened or have had problems or a bad experience with police in the past.

“Please know that you don’t have to speak directly to us – there are two ways you can provide us with information and footage that is important for our investigation without giving us your details.

“You can call Crimestoppers 100% anonymously. They will not pass your details onto us and they are not part of the police – they are completely independent.

“You can submit video footage from mobile phones, CCTV camera’s, doorbells or dash-cams or information via this link for the investigation – Public Portal (mipp.police.uk). You can do this anonymously or choose to submit your details and we will not contact you if you don’t want us to.”

DCI Blackburn added: “We have recovered and examined a lot of CCTV from the area around the scene, and today we’re releasing images of the suspects leaving the scene after they stabbed Ronaldo. Do you remember seeing them in the area around midday on Monday? Do you know who they are?”

Mr Scott has been described as “popular” and “well-liked”.

Borough Commander for Lambeth and Southwark, Detective Chief Superintendent Seb Adjei-Addoh, added: “Another young man has lost his life to knife crime, and my thoughts at this time are with Ronaldo’s family, friends and our local community.

“I know that the local community will be hurting about the loss of another young man. Officers from my Community Engagement team will be conducting patrols in the local area, so local people can expect to see more officers in uniform. Please speak to these officers if you have any concerns.”

A spokesman for the Met said: “Any witnesses or anyone with any information is asked to call police on 101 or contact us ‘X’ @MetCC. Please quote CAD3184/04SEP.

“To give information anonymously contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.”
