At around 12.33am on Tuesday 17 September 2024, police were called after Mustapha was shot in Railway Terrace, Kings Langley.

Approximately 15 minutes later, at around 12.45am, a white Volkswagen Golf believed to have been used during the incident, was reported on fire in Furtherfield, Abbots Langley.

The Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire (B*H) Major Crime Unit has spent almost two years investigating the circumstances surrounding Mustapha's death and the events that followed.

Detective Inspector Adam Bridges, from the B*H Major Crime Unit, said: "These charges mark a significant milestone in an investigation that has been ongoing for almost two years.

"Since Mustapha's murder, detectives and staff have worked tirelessly to build a detailed picture of the circumstances surrounding this incident, examining all available lines of enquiry and reviewing substantial amounts of evidence.

"Our focus throughout has been on securing the best possible evidence and seeking answers for Mustapha's family, who continue to feel the devastating impact of his loss. I would like to thank them for their patience and support during what has been an incredibly difficult period.

"Criminal proceedings are now active and I would remind people that all those charged are entitled to a fair trial. We would therefore ask the public not to speculate about the case or share information online that could prejudice the court process."

While charges have now been secured, detectives remain keen to hear from anyone who has information about the incident and has not yet spoken to police.

🎒 Four schools
👮 Eight Mini Sergeants
📚 Lots of learning
❓ Hundreds of questions
😄 Plenty of fun

🚔 And that’s a wrap for our Mini Police Programme for another school year!

Over the 2025/26 school year, PCSO Beeson has had the pleasure of working with local primary schools, alongside colleagues from the Rickmansworth NPT, to deliver the Mini Police Programme.

The initiative is an interactive project for children in years five and six and sees officers visit schools to deliver lessons over several weeks. Topics covered include things such as road safety, personal safety, staying safe online and anti-social behaviour.

The Mini Police have learned about the law, the impact of crime and anti-social behaviour, and the important role policing plays within our communities. They’ve asked some brilliant questions, shared their ideas, and impressed us with their enthusiasm throughout.

Our Mini Sergeants certainly embraced their roles too, helping set a positive example for their classmates!

Most importantly, the programme has helped strengthen relationships between young people and the police, building trust, confidence, and understanding for the future.

We can’t wait to welcome the next generation of Mini Police next year! 👮‍♀️👮‍♂️✨
