Two people have been charged as part of a murder investigation in Bushey, and two further arrests have been made.
Officers from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire (BCH) Major Crime Unit launched an investigation after Vishal Gohel, aged 44, was discovered unresponsive inside a flat in High Street at around 10.45pm on Sunday, January 23. He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
Yesterday (Thursday, February 3), two people were charged in connection with Vishal’s murder. They are:
- Georgia Bruce-Annan, aged 20, of Harts Lane in Barking, who has been charged with murder
- Faith Hoppie, aged 21, of Blake Avenue in Barking, who has been charged with murder
Both will appear at St Albans Magistrates’ Court today (Friday, February 4).
A third person, an 18-year-old woman, was arrested on suspicion of murder yesterday (Thursday, February 3) and a fourth arrest was made this morning (Friday, February 4) with a 21-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder. Both people are currently in police custody.
Detective Inspector Justine Jenkins, from the BCH Major Crime Unit, said: “This is a fast-moving investigation, and we are still keen to hear from any witnesses or anyone with information.
“If you think you might be able to help, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Any information you have, no matter how small it might seem, could be vital for our investigation.”
Vishal’s family are being supported by specially trained officers and they have asked for their privacy to be respected at this difficult time.
