Man, 30, shot dead as 5 including teen arrested over ‘murder’ & cops probe ‘car on fire’ yards from Harry Potter studios
FOUR people and a teenager have been arrested after a man was shot dead and a car set on fire near the Harry Potter studios.
Mustapha Jatta, 30, died from his injuries shortly after police arrived on the scene in Kings Langley, Hertfordshire.
Jatta, from Nottingham, was gunned down on Railway Terrace at 12.33am on Tuesday 17 September.
Just 15 minutes after the shooting, Three Rivers Police were called to a car fire in Furtherfield, Abbots Langley.
A white Volkswagen Golf had been torched in the quiet housing estate, which backs onto the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London, where the Harry Potter films were created.
Cops believe the fire and Jatta's death are linked and have since arrested five people including a teenage boy.
