DETECTIVES have launched a new appeal for information about the unsolved execution-style murder in Upper Clapton.
Meneliek Robinson, 20, was shot three times after he was ambushed by motorcyclists eight years ago.

Mr Robinson was driving his red BMW along Upper Clapton Road on June 25, 2000, when he was surrounded by two motorcycles - both with pillion passengers.
