A UK music promoter has been stabbed to death in broad daylight over an alleged debt.
25 year-old Olamide Fushina also known as Ben or ‘Trigger’ was chased through Thamesmead South London, reportedly by a gang of 5 men, whm he reportedly owed £400.
The men cornered him on an estate where he was fatally stabbed.
Although doctors tried to revive him, by performing emergency surgery on the street he was unfortunately pronounced dead half an hour later.
The stabbing took place only a few miles away from Fushina’s family home, and his family arrived on the scene later that evening before Fushina’s body was taken away.
Witnesses say that they had seen the perpetrators with a hacksaw as well as an eight inch blade. They also claimed to have heard screams followed by the gang of men fleeing the scene.
“I’m so shocked, I wouldn’t have expected this ever,” Fushina’s uncle Samuel told the Standard. He was only 25. For his parents who have been around and supported him for 25 years it is devastating. His mum is in bits.”
No arrests have been made.
A police spokesman stated:
“Police were called to reports of a large group of males congregating in Wolvercote Road.
“Police attended and were directed to a 25-year-old man who was suffering from a stab wound.
“London Ambulance Service and London’s Air Ambulance were called and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.”
