15 year old Nigerian schoolboy and
footballer, Joel Adeshina was
stabbed to death at Bethnal Green
Road in East London on Friday night
December 5th by a group of boys.
According to Scotland Yard police,
Joel was on his way home with some
of his friends when they were
attacked by a gang who pursued
them into an estate, managed to
corner Joel and then stabbed him in
the stomach.
“Police were called by London
Ambulance Service to Bethnal Green
Road, E2, at 23:04hrs on Friday, 5
December. Officers attended and
found a 15-year-old boy suffering
from serious stab injuries to the
abdomen.
The boy was taken by London
Ambulance Service to an east
London hospital. He died in hospital
at 02:12hrs on Saturday, 6
December.’ a Scotland Yard
spokesperson said
Manager of Joel’s football team
Bardag FC Yellows, Ricky Downes,
said Joel, who was a winger, was ‘as
good as gold’ and talented enough to
play professionally.
“To say that myself and the club are
devastated is an understatement, we
are absolutely in bits.
Joel was a wonderful young lad who
had the world at his feet. He was a
very talented footballer and had
ambitions of playing professionally.
I think he had a future in the sport
and could have played for a living.
There was something about Joel that
touched me and his death is totally
unexpected.
He never gave me any inkling that
he was involved in gangs or
anything like that.
He was cheeky, bubbly, and a
thoroughly likeable young man.’ he
said
No one has so far been arrested for
Joel’s m****r. MET Police say they
are still investigating.
