Officers say the unnamed two men they now want to speak to had an altercation at the time Karima and Adam were last seen together in June, in the Richmond area of London
Detectives are asking the public to call 999 immediately if they spot either of two men they want to speak to, after a mum and her son went missing.
Karima Mahmoud, 34, and her seven-year-old Adam Glanville, were last seen together seven months ago, on June 3 in the Richmond area of London. Police are asking for help to find the boy, who they believe is still with his mum. Officers say Karima is in breach of a family court order.
In an unusual twist, officers have today released two images of men they say are linked to the missing person’s investigation. Detective Sergeant Mary Dawson, who is leading the case, said: “We need the public’s help to locate Karima and Adam.
“Karima is in breach of a family court order and police are trying to locate them both. I also want to identify and speak with the two men shown in the image released today. They were involved in an altercation with a man at the time Karima and Adam were last seen together on 3 June – the images were taken then. I do not believe they have caused any harm to Karima or Adam, but I believe they may have information as to their whereabouts.”
Officers say little Adam has not been seen since he vanished in June, but on October 24, last year, officers received a sighting of Karima in the vicinity of Bedfont Road in Feltham. Anyone with information that may assist the investigation, including about the identity of the two men, is asked to call 101 quoting 01/903997/24.
Police say you can give information anonymously by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, but for immediate sightings they want the public to dial 999.
