Amazing stories Around The World, first broke the news with photos of Nigerian born chef who was stabbed to death by gang of boys in Thamesmead, london yesterday after an argument over money.
Olamide Feshina, 25, known as Ben and nicknamed
Trigger, was cornered in an estate in Thamesmead, south east London, by the
group who reportedly attacked him over an unpaid debt.
He was seen
“crawling” along Wolvercote Road in search of help before collapsing. A member
of the public dialled 999.
An air
ambulance landed in the playing field of a nearby primary
school and doctors and a paramedic performed surgery in
the street in a 30 minute battle to save him before he was pronounced dead at
around 2.30pm yesterday.
Grief-stricken
family members arrived at the scene minutes before his body was taken away by
an ambulance at 9.30pm.
Screams could be
heard by his mother and father as they went to see him, while other relatives
collapsed in the street wailing and sobbing.
A music promoter
was chased down by a gang of men and stabbed to death in a terrifying murder in
broad daylight.
When the ambulance
drove away, his mother cried out “my son, my boy, they stabbed my boy”, as her
family supported her on either side and walked her home.
Ben’s uncle,
Samuel, today said the family, with whom he lived just around the corner, were
devastated.
“He
was a very respectful boy. I’m so shocked, I wouldn’t have expected this ever.
He was only 25.
“Whether
they find the people who did it or not he is never going to come back. For his
parents who have been around and supported him for 25 years it is devastating.
His mum is in bits.”
His
younger brother wrote on Twitter: “Life is short. Never even got a chance to
say I love you to my brother. This really is a lesson that we need to keep our
family at heart.”
Residents
described how Mr Feshina, who also has a younger sister, had been chased into
an alleyway and stabbed by the gang who then scattered in different directions.
Neighbour
Ted Knott told the News Shopper: “Five of them were chasing three other boys.
One had a knife about eight or six inches big and a hacksaw.”
Mr
Knott said the incident may have been sparked over a £400 debt.
One
witness said: “He was with his friends and they started having an argument with
five other boys. They ran off and he was left crawling and screaming for
help.”
A
woman, who did not want to be named, said: “I heard the screams and I saw a
group of men running off. I ran to the man who was stabbed and he was lying
there and just bleeding and bleeding.”
She
watched as paramedics carried out emergency surgery on him for more than half
an hour.
A
friend who grew up with Mr Feshina said: “He was close mates with everyone. He
was one of the best guys around here. He cared for everybody. He was really
friendly.
“We
just want to know who did this and why they did it. There are lots of wars down
here between different estates. We get used to all the fighting. But Trigger
was one of the nicest blokes around here. He isn’t one of the ones you know are
involved in trouble.”
Four
areas of Thamesmead estate were taped off by police while forensics combed the
scene for evidence.
No
arrests have been made yet and detectives from the Homicide and Major Crime
Command have launched a murder investigation.

Triggz.”
