Today Tuesday, Nov. 24, Evan Edwards, 20
(right), was jailed for 13 years at the Old Bailey
after admitting to the manslaughter of 22-year-
old Babafemi Junaid (Left), Metropolitan Police
UK states.
Babatunde was stabbed on February 7, 2014 and
later died in hospital. A post-mortem examination
gave the cause of death as a single stab wound
to the heart. Babafemi became the inadvertent
focus of an attack by a group after a disturbance
on a 155 bus spilled out onto the street.
e was not on the bus but was waiting at the bus
stop when the disturbance spilled out onto the
pavement at Stockwell station. As he attempted
to get away from the fracas when he was
targeted, chased and attacked by the group.
During the attack one of the attackers was
witnessed waving a knife, when Babafemi fell to
the ground. He managed to run to his car which
was a short distance away but, as a result of his
injuries, crashed his car into the back of a bus
soon after. The same group that initially attacked
him then set upon him again opening three of its
doors to kick and punch him until bystanders
came over to intervene.
