Four arrested over teenager's death

Four people have been arrested in connection with the murder of Peckham teenager Michael Dosunmu.

Fifteen-year-old Michael was shot by two gunmen who forced their way into his home in Diamond Street in Peckham, south London shortly after midnight on Tuesday.

Michael's older sister was also in the house at the time of the shooting and was able to give the teenager first aid. However, the teenager, who turned 15 on Sunday, died in hospital less than an hour later.

The four men who were arrested on Wednesday are being held at police station in south London.

Michael was a regular at the Celestial Church of Christ in nearby Bird in Bush Road and also attended St Michael's Secondary School in Bermondsey.

Scotland Yard's Operation Trident team, which investigates gun crime in the black community in the capital, is investigating the murder and officers said that no link had been found between the boy and local gangs.

A police spokesperson said: "The boy was not known to police before this incident and we are not linking this to gangs or any other incidents which have occurred in the past few days. This does not appear to have been a botched burglary. I believe these premises were specifically targeted."
