Police have launched a murder investigation after a teenager was shot dead in a gangland-style execution then set ablaze by his killers in a petrol-soaked car.
Samuel Ogunro, 17, (pictured) was discovered in a burnt-out silver Rover (pictured) dumped in Jowett Street, Peckham, South London.
Emergency services were alerted to the fire at approximately 22.15 pm on June 1 and Samuel’s body was found once the blaze was extinguished.
It is believed that the murder took place in another location with the car having been taken back to Jowett Street with the body of Samuel inside.
The car was found to have significant damage to the front of it, including the bumper, which was hanging off.
Police believe this damage may have been caused by a collision and would appeal to anyone to come forward if they have any information about this.
Following the blaze, two or three youths were seen running from the scene.
They are described as black and were wearing jeans and dark clothing, possibly hooded tops.
Police believe that these youths may have been responsible for setting the fire.
A 16-year-old male youth was arrested on suspicion of murder and bailed to return to a south London police station pending further enquiries.
A 19-year-old man has also been arrested on suspicion of murder.
