A
15-year-old Nigerian boy identified as Jordan Gbolade Jaiyeola, was
stabbed to death in a fight after a birthday party at a community centre
in east London.
Three teenage boys have been arrested on
suspicion of murder and have been taken to separate police stations for
questioning. The teenage drill rapper known locally as Jordan Douherty,
was found with knife wounds and died at the scene.
The Met
Police said they were called to the centre in Romford on Saturday night
after fighting broke out after up to 100 youths mobbed the event.
Jordan
is the youngest victim to be fatally stabbed in London this year. More
than 80 murder investigations have now been launched across London this
year alone.
The aspiring rap star appeared in a number of
YouTube videos with the group C17 under the alias Young Valenti. Their
lyrics reference gang and knife violence, rapping about using “skengs”
and “shanks” (knives) to “dip” and “splash” (stab) their “opps” (gang
rivals), the Sun reports.
A witness who gave her name only as Carol said:-
“it
was chaos out here last night” and described hearing friends of the
victim screaming and sobbing. She told the Press Association: “Around
9.20pm I heard a lot of noise going on. For some reason it didn’t sound
right. It was mostly black boys out there. “Then I heard a lad crying
down the phone ‘he’s dead, he’s dead’. “He was lying down in the road,
there was a lot of blood. The police were working on him, they tried
their absolute damnedest with that boy last night.”
Another
teenager, who saw the aftermath of the attack and gave her name only as
Ellie, added:- “There was a big group on the corner with just the boy on
the floor. “There were paramedics doing shocks and CPR on him for quite
a while. The best part of an hour. After, he was just laying there with
a white sheet over him, it was covered in blood.”
