Three men have been charged with murder in connection with the fatal shooting of Masum Miah, the Metropolitan Police has confirmed. The incident occurred on St Bartholomew’s Road in London, where officers were called at around 3am on 18 August after reports of gunshots. Masum Miah was pronounced dead at the scene, and three additional men—Leonel Friman Intasse, Renars Ludins, and Mihai Stancu—have since been charged with his murder. The charges mark a significant development in the investigation, which has been ongoing since the shooting.
Intasse is set to appear at the Old Bailey, London’s central criminal court, on 25 September. Ludins and Stancu are expected to appear at the same court on 17 May 2027. A fourth suspect, 40-year-old Sergiu Leahu, who has no fixed address, was previously charged with murder in connection with the case. The police have not disclosed the exact relationship between the suspects or the circumstances that led to the shooting.
Detective Chief Inspector Dan Whitten, who is leading the investigation, expressed his condolences to Masum Miah’s family and urged anyone with information to come forward. The police are continuing to gather evidence and are appealing for witnesses or anyone with relevant information to assist in the case. The incident has drawn attention from local communities and law enforcement, highlighting concerns about gun violence in the area.
The charges against the three men represent a major step in the legal process, though the case is expected to take several years to reach a conclusion, given the dates of the court appearances. As the investigation continues, authorities are working to ensure that all aspects of the incident are thoroughly examined to bring justice for the victim and his family.
