Three suspects charged over murder of man stabbed to death after brawl outside barber shop

Three suspects have been charged over the murder of a man who was stabbed to death during a brawl outside a barber shop in broad daylight.

Jobari Gooden was found with stab wounds on a busy shopping street in Peckham, south east London, after a fight broke out in front of shocked Christmas shoppers.

The 27-year-old was rushed to a hospital in south London in a critical condition, but despite medics battling to save his life, he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead three hours later.Police said officers were called to the fight outside the House of Ramish 2 barber shop near Rye Lane station at 3.15pm last Friday (Dec 17).

Momodou Lamin Faal, 27, was charged last night with murder after being arrested at a house in Gillingham, Kent, on Thursday.

A man and a woman - Olushola Eletu and Elishah Anderson, both aged 39 - were charged with perverting the course of justice.

All three defendants - two of which have been confirmed as living in Peckham - will appear at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on Monday (Dec 27).

Met Police detectives appealed for anyone with information to contact investigators.

DCI Brian Howie said: “We need to hear from anyone who was in the area and saw what happened.

“This attack took place in the early afternoon and in the middle of Peckham Rye. We know the area was busy, with people going to the shops or the market.

“I expect that many people saw the fight, the knife that was used, and subsequent fatal attack.

“At a time when many families come together to celebrate, another family in London is grieving following a violent attack in the heart of the community.”
