A 36-year-old man was arrested and returned from Turkey to face suspicion in a double murder that occurred during a lockdown-era party in Moss Side, Manchester, in June 2020. Cheriff Tall, 21, and Abayomi Ajose, 36, were fatally shot at an impromptu gathering of around 400 people. Greater Manchester Police announced the arrest as a significant development but emphasized ongoing efforts to gather more information from witnesses. A £50,000 reward is still offered for crucial details that could lead to further convictions.

Story summary
A 36-year-old man was arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of Junior Ajose, 36, and Cheriff Tall, 21, at a lockdown party in Manchester on June 20-21, 2020. The suspect was detained in Turkey and transported back to England, where he was met by officers from the Greater Manchester Police (GMP) at Stansted Airport. The arrest followed six years of investigation involving multiple warrants, evidence analysis, and device examinations. GMP estimates that between 300 and 400 people were present at the car park party in Moss Side where the shooting occurred shortly before 1 AM BST. Detective Chief Inspector Neil Higginson emphasized the police's dedication to securing justice for the victims and their families. The reward of £50,000 remains available for information leading to further arrests or convictions related to these murders.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
