Pair in court over schoolboy's murder

Two men have appeared in court charged with the murder of a 15-year-old schoolboy who was shot dead in his bedroom.

Michael Dosunmu was shot several times when intruders entered his home in Peckham, south-east London on February 6.

His older sister, Shakira, was also in the house at the time of the incident and she was able to give her brother first aid, but he died in hospital less than an hour later.

Mohammed Sannoh, 18, and Abdi Omar Noor, 21, both of no fixed address, were remanded in custody at City of Westminster Magistrates' on Friday.

They are due to appear before the Old Bailey on August 24.

Four other males, two aged 18, one aged 23 and one aged 16, are on police bail, pending further inquiries.

A £20,000 reward has been offered for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of those responsible for Michael's death.
