#277 - The Cuckoo (William Blaise, Barnes, London)

Sunday the 1st of December 2019 was the last time 53-year-old William Algar, a talented jazz trumpeter was seen alive. One month later, parts of his dismembered body were found in his flat at 7 Nowell Road in Barnes, having been the victim of cuckooing by a drugs gang. But who had murdered him? This is a story about a county lines gang who murdered an innocent man in the name of greed.

• Location: Ground Floor Flat, 7 Nowell Road, Barnes, SW13
• Victims: 1 (William Hugh Blaise Algar)
• Culprits: 1 (Emeka Kabiru Dawuda-Wodu, Zimele Dube, Janayo Lucima, Marc Harding)
