New Addington shooting: two charged with attempted murder

Two men have been charged with attempted murder after a shot-gun shooting in New Addington.

The Metropolitan Police have confirmed that 30-year-old Anthony Dasousa, of Station Approach, Coulsdon, has been charged with attempted murder and possession of a shotgun with intent to endanger life. He was arrested on Tuesday, June 3.

Tevin Nzita, 29, of Warbank Crescent, New Addington, was charged today with attempted murder and possession of a shotgun with intent to endanger life following his arrest yesterday.

The arrests follow a shooting on Walsh Crescent, New Addington, around 7.30pm on May 21, in which “a man in his 30s suffered gunshot wounds”, according to the Met. The man, who was treated in hospital for injuries that were neither life-threatening nor life-changing, has not been identified by the police.

Dasousa and Nzita have been remanded in custody following appearances at Bromley Magistrates’ Court this week.
