A number of arrests have been made after a murder investigation was launched in Kings Langley.
Police were called to reports of a shooting in Railway Terrace at 12.33am on Tuesday 17 September.
On arrival, officers located 30-year-old Mustapha Jatta with serious injuries. He was sadly pronounced dead a short time later.
At just after 12.45am, reports were received of a white Volkswagen Golf on fire in Furtherfield, Abbots Langley. Officers believe the incidents are linked.
The investigation, led by the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire (BCH) Major Crime Unit, has resulted in the arrests of five people:
Detective Inspector Dale Mepstead, from the BCH Major Crime Unit, said: “We have been making significant progress with this investigation and have now arrested five people in connection with Mustapha’s murder. Our enquiries are ongoing at this time.”
