Police have offered a £10,000 reward in a bid to help find three men who fled the UK after the murder of Ricardo Fuller in 2020.

Mr Fuller attended a friend’s 30th birthday party at a nightclub on Ilford High Road on March 7 last year when he was fatally stabbed in the neck.

He staggered back inside the club but collapsed from his injuries.

Police and the London Ambulance Service attended the scene, with Mr Fuller taken to an east London hospital for treatment where he died a few hours later.

Detectives launched a murder investigation and quickly identified five suspects.

Further enquiries established that all five had fled the country before police were able to find and arrest them.

Officers have been working with the National Crime Agency (NCA) and Interpol in an effort to locate them ever since.

Two of the five men have returned to the UK and were both arrested on arrival, put before the courts and remanded in custody.

The three suspects who remain at large and are still believed to be overseas are Edmond Moses Tucker, Ahmed Sesay and Abubaker Tarawally.

The force said a £10,000 reward is available for information that leads to their arrest and conviction.

Detective Chief Inspector Perry Benton, from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said: “It is now more than 16 months since Ricardo was so senselessly killed. Each day is one where his loss is felt dearly by his family, friends and loved ones.

“They are unable to grieve fully and to attempt to come to terms with Ricardo’s death while his killers remain at large.

“My team are working tirelessly, with support from Interpol and the NCA, to find these men and bring them back to the UK to face justice. But our efforts rely in large part on the information we receive from the public.

“We know that these men will still be in contact with family and friends in the UK. There are people in the very community where Ricardo was killed who will know where those responsible are hiding.

Detective Benton added that “they cannot hide forever” and urged anyone with information to get in touch.

Emmanuel Tamwesigire, 29, was arrested at Heathrow Airport on Monday, July 12 after returning from overseas.

Later the same day, he was charged with Mr Fuller’s murder.

He appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, July 13.

Earlier this year, Mr Fuller’s mother, Vicky Fuller, said in a statement issued through the Met Police that Mr Fuller has been “denied of so many things,” adding: “Life will never be the same”.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the incident room on 020 8345 1570. If their call is not answered straight away, they should leave a message and an officer will return their call.
