Case dropped against man charged with robbing Andre Onana's wife after £62k handbag and gold watch stolen in street incident

The incident in question is alleged to have taken place on March 29, 2025. Melanie Kamayou was targeted outside an Italian restaurant in the Alderley Edge region of Cheshire. She found herself caught up in a frightening street raid.

Liam Ross, a 25-year-old from Wibsey in West Yorkshire, was charged with the robbery - which saw a designer handbag and expensive piece of jewelry go missing. Said case has, as reported by The Sun, now been discontinued.

That is due to the Crown Prosecution Service offering no evidence. Ross has still been sentenced to 24 months in jail by Chester crown court after pleading guilty to a separate charge of producing cannabis.

That is not the outcome that 35-year-old pharmacist Kamayou was hoping for. She moved to the UK alongside her Cameroon international partner in 2023 - with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney having previously called Alderley Edge home.

It remains to be seen how much longer Onana will be spending at Old Trafford. Questions are being asked of his future after making a number of costly errors across his two seasons with United, picking up an untimely injury this summer and seeing the Red Devils linked with alternative goalkeeping options - such as Aston Villa’s World Cup-winning Argentine, Emi Martinez.
