“Everyone gets stabbed, everyone gets shot. Everyone dies, everyone goes to jail, that’s how life is.”
That was the chilling statement made by Nathaniel Okusanya,
19 who along with his friend, Nelson Idiabeta, 18, killed Kwame Ofosu-Asare, an
innocent 17-year-old student in March this year after mistaking him for a rival
gang member. At the time of the murder, Okusanya was 18 while Idiabeta was 17.
Kwame just happened to be “in the wrong place at the wrong
time” and was stabbed 14 times in the back in a ‘cowardly and merciless’ murder
by the two young men.
According to Daily Mail, the pair were members of the TN1
gang – Trust No One – out to avenge one of their member who was stabbed by a
rival gang member from the GAS gang – Guns and Shanks – just hours earlier.
They had toured housing estates in Brixton to find rival gang members and came
upon 17-year-old Kwame and his friend, who had nothing to do with any gangs. He
was a sixth-form student who moved to London from Ghana in 2002.
