Alfie Caparn named in 'murder' of Wesley Adyinka in Knightrider Street Maidstone

The fourth man accused of murdering Wesley Adyinka has been named as 18-year-old Alfie Caparn.

He had remained anonymous since his arrest for killing 37-year-old Adyinka in Maidstone in February.

But following an application on behalf of KentOnline, Judge Adele Williams lifted the legal restriction to name him.

Police launched a murder investigation in February

Caparn of Streatham, south London will now go on trial in November together with Kevin Roach, 39, Rodney Harris, 38 and Julian Grant, who is 27.

All are accused of stabbing Mr Adyinka to death at his home.

He died near Chaucer House, a former office block in Knightrider Street.
