Brent’s top police officer has paid tribute to a volunteer police worker from Wembley who was shot dead in Kenya.

Jamal Moghe, 26, was shot on Saturday, January 12, while on a charity trip.

Paying tribute, Brent’s borough commander, Chief Superintendent, Matthew Gardner described it as a ‘tragic loss’ for the community.

He said: “Jamal Moghe was an integral part of the volunteer family.

PC Moghe lived in Wembley and was also described as a ‘popular member of the team’ in Ealing Borough.

Det Supt Gardner added: “He was one of our most active Special Constables, helping to keep Brent residents safe.

“He was a popular member of the staff and our hearts go out to his family, friends, and colleagues, of which there are many. He will sorely missed.”
