Police want to speak to these two men after boy, 7, went missing six months ago

Detectives have released images of two men they want to trace in connection with an investigation into a missing seven-year-old boy last seen in southwest London six months ago.

Karima Mahmoud, 43, was with her son Adam Glanville on June 3 last year in Richmond when she became involved in an apparent argument with two men.

Now, police have said they want to trace them as they may have information to aid the search – but they do not believe they have harmed the mother and son.

Mrs Mahmoud left the scene with Adam and is in breach of a custody order by keeping him with her, detectives said.

Officers were tipped to a sighting of Mrs Mahmoud near Bedfont Road in Feltham, west London on October 24.

Adam has not been spotted since the incident in June but police believe he is still with his mother.

Detective Sargent Mary Dawson 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.’
