Ola Raji’s unsolved murder in south London continues to torment his family (Picture: PA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A decade on, one family continues to seek justice after a 21-year-old student was stabbed and shot while cycling home in south London<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Ola Raji, a 21-year-old student, was targeted by attackers while on his way home from watching a Champion’s League football game at a friend’s house. <\/p>\n

His family have not had any closure after his killing in Peckham on April 21, 2015, as the suspects remain at large. <\/p>\n

The attack happened when he cycled on the East Surrey Grove estate near Commercial Way. <\/p>\n

Ola was stabbed and shot by two men and he succumbed to his injuries in the hospital. <\/p>\n

His sisters Zainab Raji and Ruki Ware said as they renewed the appeal for information: ‘This is a painful reminder of 10 years of loss \u2013 our family is not going to get that time back. <\/p>\n

‘When we get together, there is always that sense of something missing. <\/p>\n

‘There are children who never get to know their Uncle, who would still be so young even now. The laughter we share is that little less loud. There is a smile absent in the photographs.<\/p>\n

‘But this is not just about our family. It\u2019s about safety on the streets of Peckham and the wider south London area. <\/p>\n

‘There is no doubt the people who did this once could carry out similar attacks again. Maybe they already have.<\/p>\n

‘We are getting closer to the truth \u2013 for example, we now know about phone calls Ola received shortly before the attack. Just the smallest piece of evidence from any witnesses or those with knowledge of what happened could be enough to put those responsible behind bars and make the streets safer for the entire community.’<\/p>\n

Now, Crimestoppers the charity has promised a reward of up to \u00a320,000 for information that leads to finding and prosecuting those responsible for his killing. <\/p>\n
