Essex drive-by 'execution': CCTV captures men guilty of horror house party shooting



Two men have been found guilty of the murder of a father-of-three, who was shot eight times as he left a birthday party in a “carefully co-ordinated execution”.

Robert Powell, 50, was gunned down in Roydon, near Harlow, Essex, in the early hours of June 13 2020, Essex Police said.

He had left the party in Water Lane at about 4.45am and died later in hospital.

One of the shots went through Mr Powell and hit two nearby women, injuring them.

Essex Police said Nana Oppong, 43, and Israar Shah, 39, organised and carried out the killing.

Both men fled the country in the days after the shooting but were tracked down and extradited to the UK last year – Oppong from Morocco and Shah from Spain.

The force said that on Tuesday both men were found guilty at Woolwich Crown Court of Mr Powell’s murder and possession of a firearm, after a trial.

Oppong was also found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm and possessing a prohibited weapon, and he admitted to conspiring to supply Class A drugs, police said.

Oppong and Shah will be sentenced at the same court on Friday, May 31.

  1. How much has been spent on these things legal aid for example, and now they are to be housed and fed by us the tax payers. Have any of them contributed in any way to our society? The drain on us all is enormous.

  2. The gunmen were initially reported as being on a (stolen) motorcycle. The cuffed guy looks genuinely bewildered, having been told he has been arrested on suspicion of “merduh”.

  3. Familiar looking faces reflecting what multiculturalism had done to the country. If they been indigenous people then I'm sure the media and authorities will say they are far right groups. Phew 😢.

  4. The look on both of their faces said it all. "Yikes, this is the last hour of my freedom, and the last time I will smell fresh outside air for the next 30 years"
