A man has been arrested in connection with the murder of a young Christian father of three in Croydon in October 2016.
Akeem Moore, 22, was shot in the garden of a house on Eastney Road on Friday 7 October.
London's Metropolitan Police said on Tuesday a 36-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of murder, attempted murder, possession of a firearm, and perverting the course of justice.
He is currently in custody at a south London police station.
At the time of the killing Mr Moore's mother, Lilian Hinchley-Nelson, appealed for prayers.
"May God give myself and my family the strength and comfort at this time," she said.
A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
