Men charged with attempted murder after Spalding shooting

Junior Titilawo (25) of Aspen Green, Huntingdon, and Anthony Madine (20) of Cradge Bank in Spalding have both been charged with attempt murder and possession of a firearm.

They will appear at court today under an application to be remanded in custody.

In total, nine people have been arrested and bailed over the shooting on Friday night, including two from the Peterborough area. One was arrested in Willonholt, Ravensthorpe, on Sunday.

The major investigation follows the 24-year-old victim being left with a gunshot wound before being taken by a motorist to hospital where they are said to remain.

Police were called about the incident at 9.20pm on Friday but have declined to disclose where in Spalding the shooting occurred.

Detective Superintendent Martyn Parker said: “I would like to thank the public and our team for their support with this complex investigation which has resulted in the charges against these two men.

“These incidents are rare. The circumstances surrounding this offence are isolated in which those involved were known to each other.

“Lincolnshire Police have placed a significant amount of resources into this investigation to get the result we have. We take incidents of violence very seriously and are committed to bringing offenders to justice but more importantly demonstrates our commitment to safeguarding our communities.”
