Suspect ID'd in Amsterdam nightclub shooting
The suspect's name was redacted from this article. He turned himself in to authorities at Schiphol Airport, and was later convicted in the case. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Under Dutch law, anyone given at least one year in prison can qualify for early release after serving two-thirds of the sentence.
The police have identified Kehinde "Kenni" S. as the man who shot and killed Kelvin Tettey (32) at the nightclub The Sand during the Afro Dance Festival in Amsterdam at the end of September last year.
S. allegedly shot and killed Tettey in the VIP area of The Sand in front of dozens of witnesses. Tettey was a Ghanaian who came to Amsterdam specifically for the Afro Dance Festival. Thanks to the statements of the witnesses, the police have now identified S. as the suspected shooter.
According to the police, he may also have other aliases. The British citizen with roots in Ghana was born in 1982, and stands 1.81 meters tall. He immediately fled after the shooting, possibly to family in Ghana.
The police said they do not know his current whereabouts. They released a picture taken of S. at The Sand the same night of the murder.
The police warned civilians not to approach S. themselves, but said they should immediately contact the police if he is seen.
