A man who fled the UK and disappeared in Somali after a Sheffield murder is still wanted over six years later. Jordan Marples-Douglas, aged 23, was stabbed to death in March 2020 when two men were said to have confronted him over a drug debt.
In the years since, one man was jailed for 21 years for his murder, one woman was locked up for assisting an offender - and another man is yet to be found. Ismail Mohamoud Adan was named in court as a man alleged to have been involved in Jordan’s death.
However, the day after the killing, Adan used used his partner Dina Aweimrin’s bank card to book a flight to Somalia and has evaded arrest ever since. She denied knowing that Jordan had been killed, and claimed Adan explained he was leaving because of an ill relative.
Aweimrin, formerly of Oakdale Road, Nether Edge, was jailed for three years in 2021 for assisting an offender. Ben Jones, formerly of Archdale Road, Manor, was found guilty of murdering Jordan and jailed for life with a minimum term of 21 years.
In a statement issued after Jones and Aweimrin were jailed, Jordan’s family said: “Despite the trial coming to an end it does not bring closure for us as a family.
“There is still a suspect outstanding who fled the UK in the days following Jordan's murder. We hope one day justice will take its course.”
The family added: “Words cannot describe the devastation that has been left behind. Life is not the same without Jordan. The impact has been felt by all of his family and friends. Things will never be the same.”
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Adan should call South Yorkshire Police on 101. The Star
