A GUN used to used to shoot Andrew Wanogho in Brockley had been used in at least six other shootings, it has been revealed.

Mr Wanogho died after he was shot with the CZ .32 Colt Model 1927 by Trevor Dennie, aged 34, of Albyn Road, Deptford.

Delphon Nicholas, aged 29, of Sheene Wood, Sydenham, was in prison at the time Andrew Wanogho was shot, but ordered the killing using a mobile phone smuggled into Belmarsh prison.

Nicholas and Dennie were convicted of murdering their former associate in Pendrell Road, Brockley, on April 8, 2006 after a seven week trial at the Old Bailey.

The pair were given life sentences and told they must spend a minimum of 30 years in prison, yesterday (October 18).

A national newspaper has reported that the gun was a real weapon and not a converted replica and was probably bought for between £500 and £1,000.

And that the gun, which was made in Czechoslovakia, was discovered on a November morning in 2006 by the mother of a teenage boy in her son’s bedroom.

It was also reported that the 14-year-old boy from Peckahm, who suffers from Asperger's syndrome, was bullied by other boys and was probably looking after the gun for one of them.

When the gun found its way into the hands of police officers investigating the gangland murder of drug dealer, Andrew Wanogho, ballistics tests showed that the .32 caliber handgun was used in at least five more shootings in south London and one in Sussex - including an attempt to shoot a police officer attending a reported robbery in Brockley Cross in 2004.
