Man arrested at Gatwick charged with murder of Rijkaard Siafa

A second man has been charged with the murder of Rijkaard Siafa, who was stabbed to death in Croydon last month.

Rammon Mali, 32, of Valley Road, Kenley, was arrested on Sunday at Gatwick Airport having returned to the UK from Senegal. 

He was charged with murder on Monday and is due to appear at the Old Bailey today.

A 51-year-old woman was also arrested on Monday on suspicion of perverting the course of justice. She was bailed to return on a date in late July.

The investigation was launched after Rijkaard, who is from Croydon, was stabbed to death in Fellmongers Yard at around 6pm on April 12.

Police were called to the scene of the crime, where a number of members of the public attempted to provide first aid, before London Ambulance Service crews and those from London’s Air Ambulance arrived.

Despite their efforts, Rijkaard died at the scene. A post-mortem examination gave the cause of death as multiple stab wounds.

David Walcott, 34, of Turle Road, Norbury, was charged with Rijkaard’s murder on April 20 . He is also due to appear at the Old Bailey today.
