A 25-year-old man has been charged and has appeared in court after robbing Melanie Kamayou, the wife of Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana, of her £62,000 Hermes Birkin purse and Rolex watch.
According to information first reported by Mail Online, on March 29, the robber targeted Kamayou, who married Onana two years prior, in the charming village of Alderley Edge, known as the “Knightsbridge of the North.”
Former football players Rio Ferdinand, Wayne Rooney, David Beckham, and Cristiano Ronaldo all lived in the lush Cheshire neighbourhood of Alderley Edge during their playing days at Old Trafford.

The heist happened in the parking lot of a posh Italian restaurant, according to sources who spoke to the publication. As previously mentioned, Ms. Kamayou endured a terrible trauma last month when two statement pieces, including her pricey Hermes Birkin bag, were taken from her.
Because of the craftsmanship involved in their creation, Hermes Birkin bags are usually pricey and regarded as the most challenging to get. As per the previously cited news, the priciest bag of its sort brought £1.5 million.
Liam Ross, a thief from Bradford’s Wibsey neighbourhood, was charged and therefore came before a judge at Chester Magistrates Court on Friday, April 4. He is also accused of distributing cannabis, a Class B substance.

In addition to being the co-chair of the Andre Onana Foundation, a nonprofit organisation that offers free medical care to impoverished communities in Africa, Ms Kamayou defines herself online as a chemist, businesswoman, and philanthropist.
Additionally, she has been married to the Red Devils goalie for two years, and since he moved to the UK from Inter Milan in the summer of 2023, she has lived there. Additionally, she and the seasoned Cameroon international had a child together.
Onana, who is currently considered one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, has had his share of ups and downs during his 92 appearances in all competitions since his high-profile transfer, which was approved by Erik ten Hag.
The 2023–24 FA Cup champion is Ruben Amorim’s preferred goalkeeper after playing all 30 of their Premier League games this season, even though the tactician is apparently thinking about entering the market to challenge him.
