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
murder. MET Police say they are still
investigating.
