More witnesses sought to piece together Troy’s murder in Brixton
Police investigating the murder of Troy Ramsundar in Brixton are continuing to appeal for information.
Officers from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command leading the investigation into Troy’s murder have today released images of a distinctive backpack they are keen to find.
The backpack is a blue Herschel rucksack with brown strapping and a pink or orange striped lining.
The backpack belonged to the suspect and we believe he may have discarded it in or near to Brockwell Park.
The suspect entered the park from the Brixton Water Lane entrance at around 5.15am on Thursday, March 20, and left by the junction of Norwood Road and Dulwich Road half an hour later.
The suspect was wearing and may have also discarded a dark outer jacket, a light (possibly grey) hooded top, a dark face mask, dark trousers, dark shiny shoes and gloves (possibly red or brown).
Detectives are also keen to speak to anyone who was at the bus stop on Brixton Road (bus stop Q) between 4.30am and 5.15am on March 20. This bus stop is served by the 2, 3, 196, 415, 432, N2 & N3 buses.
Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie, from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, who is leading the investigation, said: “My team continue to support Troy’s family who are inconsolable and are trying to understand why he was killed.
“While we are making significant progress in our investigation, we continue to appeal for anyone who witnessed this incident and particularly anyone who has information about the bag and its contents to contact us.
“Did you see Troy that evening? We believe that he was selling packets of crisps in the area, including to people at the bus stop. This may seem like an insignificant detail but we are hoping it may jog people’s memories.
“My team are working tirelessly to piece together the events that took place on the morning of March 20. Help us to provide Troy’s family with the answers they need.”
Police were called at around 5.10am that day to reports of a man suffering a stab injury in Brixton Road.
Officers and London Ambulance Service attended but despite their efforts Troy, aged 34, sadly died at the scene.
Anyone with information that could assist police is asked to call 101 or message @MetCC on X giving the reference CAD843/20Mar. You can also provide information, or upload images and footage, through the online portal here .
