That's terrible news. I saw the ambulance speed down Coldharbour Lane and could tell it was very serious.

Do you know anything more about the incident?

 

[editor]

It's been announced that the guy has died in hospital. The Met is launching a murder investigation.

I will probably hear more today but i know he has a young daughter and is from the Waterloo/ Bermondsey area.

you want to take your chances with an axe in the head for a 16th of oregano?

i think ou should give it a go and we'll see what happens.

Do you think that's an appropriate comment considering the guy has just died and his friend is posting here?

how sad. Feel for his child.

Let's hope for a swift investigation and life sentance for the scum involved.

I'm amazed two people felt the need to even ask

It's not something I'd expect to happen round here, I've worked in a fast food place and never saw anything like this, fortunately.

Oh now I come to think of it I was nearly sexually assaulted in that kebab shop --- but that is Leeds city centre and it was night, I was thinking more of suburban takeaways like the KFC in Armley.

so rummaging about for drugs in a toilet in a kfc in brixton may not be the best idea

 

[StanSmith]

They're open late, so drunks with the munchies go there. And street dealers get their meals there. Plus the KFC and Macdonalds in Brixton are on corners and they have toilets where drugs can be stashed.

Feckin hell no wonder I cant stop eating Macky Hash Browns!!

I was in McDonald's toilets today, and I had a look. I don't think it would be possible to store drugs there. The cistern is integrated into the wall and there aren't any obvious nooks or crannies.

Shit......no wonder they always used to say its McDonalds own coke (younger McDon fans wont remember this).

is this the place to be joking about now we know what's happened?

because it's quite alright to crack jokes when you're told someone's been set about with a make-shift axe but not when they've died?

 

[StanSmith]

No its not and i apologise, but a i thought a little "humor" might lighten things a little.

I dont know Brixton at all but these problems are springing up everywhere, I live a few miles from Wolverhampton and the amount of stabbings/shootings that are linked to drugs is growing all the while. Good people are starting to get nonchalant about it, another young un killed and nobody is really suprised/bothered it really is terrible but thats what happens when things get so common place.

But whats the answer? Zero tollerance? Total tollerance? I dont know, i really wish i did.

Det Insp Will Reynolds said: "We have yet to trace the two friends that were with the victim. They had left the scene prior to police arrival.

"We urge them to come forward and make themselves known. They are key to understanding what may have led up to the altercation.

That is odd, there must have been some unpleasant altercations before, but would have thought they would have come forward.

I dont know Brixton at all but these problems are springing up everywhere . . .

In Colharbour ward, where this happened, reported 'Violence Against the Person' crime seems to be falling slightly.

 

[Laughing Toad]

Actually it's Ferndale ward. But it's falling there too.

Well its good that its falling somewhere, but I dont believe those police stats, infact i dont belive the police most of the time

Anounced dead I fear

A witness told me the pipe looked like a piece of drainpipe with some sort of fitting on the end. It was obvious that the injury was likely to be fatal. McDonalds was packed at the time, but everyone scarpered instantly. Nobody wants to be called as a witness in a case like this.

 

[story]

I went by there the next day and judging by the amount of claret on the ground and other signs, I was surprised to hear he was alive at all. What a dreadful weekend it must have been for his family.

 

[twistedAM]

So, were there two deaths between Thursday and Saturday then? One outside KFC and one further down CHL?

According to nick h on the other thread, the CHL one was fatal too.

Similarly loads of people must have seen the CHL incident. I asked the lady who runs the fruit stall under the arches what had happened and she claimed ignorance. Clearly she must have seen it.

being called as a witness is a load of shit and having done it once i would be unlikely to do it again
