Five men have been convicted following a stabbing of a 15-year-old boy in Hackney back in July last year. The incident which took place at Broadway Market, East London at around 23:23hrs on Thursday, 30 July 2020 was so frightening that some of the witnesses believed that it was a terrorist incident.
I can not picture how frightening it has to be for anyone to assume something like this must have been one of the most traumatic moments of their lives.
Emergency Services were called to the scene, on arrival a 15-year-old boy was found suffering from serious stab wounds. An investigation was launched by Hackney Gangs Task Force which led to the arrest of multiple suspects.
26-year-old Kyle Taylor pleaded guilty to GBH with intent and violent disorder on 22 September 2021. 24-year-old Courtney Paul was found guilty of GBH with intent and violent disorder and not guilty of attempted murder. 18-year-old William Guy pleaded guilty to GBH with intent, violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon on the first day of trial. Hopefully, this conviction will help stop others from carrying knives in the streets of London.
I can not believe that this is actually happening how is 26-year-old man and a 24-year-old man fight with a 15-year-old. What on earth would cause multiple grown men to attack a schoolboy, they should be teaching these kids the right path to go in yet they do such vile acts. Honestly this is beyond embarrassing if I were one of them I don’t know if I could even look at myself on the mirror.
