Police have appealed again for help in tracking down the killers of a Peckham man in an Ipswich nightclub three years after his murder.

Jimoh Plunkett, 24, was at nightclub Zest on December 9, 2006 and was struck in the chest after a number of shots were unleashed by a gunman inside the club.

The youngster ran into the street after being hit and collapsed, before being rushed to hospital. He was declared dead a short time after.

A £20,000 reward is still on offer to somebody who may have information that leads to an arrest and conviction, and despite the time that has passed, Suffolk police believe the critical information is still out there.

Acting Detective Inspector Trevor Prior, who has been involved in the investigation from the early stages, said: "This is still an open enquiry. We know that over 800 people attended Zest for a 'Funky House' music event on Friday,
December 8, 2006 - 90 per cent of them from London.

"Through our enquiries we also know who was in the club and where they came from, and we have a good idea of the events that led to Jimoh's death. We believe that he was not the intended victim of the shooting, but that this was a case of mistaken identity."

The family of Jimoh issued an impassioned plea for help two years ago, yet it has still not brought the case a conclusion.

Acting DI Prior added: "We know there are individuals who have the information we need to bring those involved that night to justice and we continue to offer what could be a life-changing sum of cash, to prompt those individuals to consider the benefit of helping put the final pieces into place.

"This is not just about the person who fired the shot that killed Jimoh, it's about allowing Jimoh's family the chance to know what happened that night."
