A man has been jailed for life, for the killing in August 2015 of a plumstead resident, after he was found guilty of his murder. He will serve a minimum term of 22 years in jail.
A statement by the Metropolitan Police say, 20 year-old Osman Musa Mohamed (above), was convicted at the Old Bailey on Monday 7, March 2016 for killing Ahmed Ahmed on Llanover Road, Plumstead after stabbing him several times on 10 Agaust 2015.
But the police say they are seeking information about a person they are still looking to trace in connection with Ahmed's death.
Giving the backround to the case, Detective Chief Inspector Rebecca Reeves, of the Met's Homicide and Major Crime Command, said: "Ahmed was set upon just metres from his front door by a group of men who had clearly gone there to commit violence."

"It only took a few seconds to inflict the injuries that resulted in Ahmed's death. In that brief moment, they robbed a family of a much-loved son and brother. One of Ahmed's sisters found him lying in the doorway, something she will have to live with for the rest of her life. She gave evidence at the trial, along with a number of other witnesses, whose bravery I pay tribute to."
"The defendant was involved in drug dealing, and the group had gone to the flats to attack another man. It appears that Ahmed died as he tried to prevent this from happening."
"I would urge anyone who is yet to speak with us to come forward. In particular, I want to trace a 22-year-old local man in connection with this enquiry. Ismail Saleban of Ritter Street SE18, may have left the country and travelled to Denmark or elsewhere in Europe. Police need to speak to him about this incident."

The family of Ahmed said: "We have been left heartbroken and traumatised by Ahmed dying. He had his whole life ahead of him. We loved him so much, the pain will never go away and we will never be the same again."
Ahmed's partner said: "I was Ahmed's girlfriend and we were planning our future together. Two days before he was killed Ahmed proposed to me. I later found out I was pregnant with Ahmed's child but then suffered a miscarriage. I am now living alone in the flat we chose together. This has changed my life forever."
