A man fell to his death from a third-floor flat during an
aggravated burglary, police revealed. Sheiku Adams, 49, died in hospital after
the fall in Camden, north London, on Thursday.
It is thought that two men forced their way into the home.
Police were called shortly after 9pm and discovered Mr Adams on the ground
outside with serious injuries.
He was taken to a north London hospital but he was
pronounced dead at 11.56pm.
His next-of-kin have been informed and a post-mortem
examination is to take place.
Detectives from the Homicide and Major Crime Command, led by
Detective Chief Inspector Noel McHugh, are investigating and are appealing to
witnesses or anyone with information to get in touch.
Mr McHugh said: “Tragically a man has lost his life in what
appears to have started as an aggravated burglary and ended in his death, after
he fell from a third-floor window.
“It is very early in the investigation, but I believe two
men forced their way into the flat armed with at least one knife.
“This appears to be a targeted attack and there will be
people out there who will know who is responsible for the events that led to
Sheiku’s death. I need to hear from those people as a matter of urgency.
“We need to understand the circumstances as to how Sheiku
came to fall out of the window and we are appealing to any local residents who
saw two men loitering around the area before 9 pm to come forward.
“We will be working around the clock to piece together the
circumstances of this case and bring those responsible to justice.
“What we need now is for witnesses and people with
information to do the right thing and contact us as a matter of urgency.
“Any information, no matter how insignificant you think it
is, will be treated in the strictest confidence and will assist us greatly in
this investigation.”
Poor guy.
May his soul rest in peace.
