“I am continuing to appeal for anyone who was in the area at the time, who saw or heard anything suspicious to contact police,” John Marriott, a detective, said.
“The shooting took place not far from Plumstead Railway Station and I would urge anyone who was commuting to or from this station to come forward. It was also sunny at the time and a number of people would have been enjoying the weather in the area of Plumstead Gardens; I need you to come forward.
