Teen dies in latest London murder

Apr 7, 2007, 12:35 GMT


A 14-year-old boy was stabbed to death in east London last night in the latest in a series of murders in the capital.

Police arrested a 13-year-old boy in the early hours of this morning at his home in London in connection with the incident, which also saw the stabbing of a 15-year-old boy who remains critically ill in hospital.

The stabbings occurred in what appears to be a gang fight shortly before emergency services were called at 19:55 BST last night.

'We understand a large group of youths were involved in an incident in the foyer of Gean Court, a block of flats in Langthorne Road, during which we believe the two victims were stabbed,' Detective Chief Inspector Matthew Horne, who is heading the investigation into the murder this weekend, said last night.

'It is believed they then managed to stagger the short distance to nearby Crownfield Road. A number of youths were seen running from the scene,' he added.

The two victims, who were known to be friends, follow a series of shootings in London in early February.

Fifteen-year-old Billy Cox was shot dead in Lambeth, while churchgoing Michael Dosonmu, also 15, was shot in his bedroom in Peckham. Three days later 16-year-old James Andre died after being shot at a busy ice rink in Streatham.

'We are appealing for anyone who was present during the incident to come forward, along with any witnesses or anyone with information on this appalling crime,' DCI Horne said.

im not talkin about the american rap groups



there is 1 of the gangs tho that have members who now rap. thats pdc - poverty driven children. it has been a gang in brixton, south london. for years but some have turned to rap. some of the london eds on this site will know more. i don't know too much about gangs down them endz.

"- PDC, originally Peel Dem Crew became a music based group using various descriptions for PDC the most common being Poverty Driven Children. Others include Pray Days Change and Please Dont Cry. There are a large number of young groups aligning themselves with the PDC in Lambeth today. Amongst those are Organised Criminals, Baghdad Young Ones, Bloodset and 031. The groups are all predominant in the SW9 area (Brixton)."

Thanks man great list !

Werent PDC on Ross Kemp on Gangs or some other documentry similar?

[Noog]

You can find PDC easy on myspace or youtube - many London groups/crews/gangs have a music side - it is difficult to tease apart what is what and probs a pain for the authorities too he he - PDC claim to be a community and music ting, but many many of thier number are on a full on gang tip - and PDC are big by London standards. Here in East Endz (PDC South/Brixton endz) many crews have a music flex as a part of thier identity - like Fields Man have links to peeps like Tricky and Totti Man to Northstar - many many like that - some would say that the music thing is a smokescreen to hide gang activity, but the truth is, its all the same thing.

This thing just keeps coming back eh.....I can't understand this crip copycat business - I mean NYC has been infected by the copycat colours ish and only a couple of years ago, London had no copycat groups like that - I said on here one time that there would be no copycat c's or b's in London town....but the little youts just wanna be and follow the hype flex to the max.
I've heard of Bloodset in Brixton also - but these are younga crews, 13/14year old youts coming out of more established teams or on thier own hype.

I know theres many serious mandem in Newham sides for real, but i cant get down with this copycat thing.

[LEEDSBANGBANG]

were nt yanks, y is ther all these fake crips in london? theyve gt ther own style y copy them

[LEEDSBANGBANG]

were nt yanks, y is ther all these fake crips in london? londons gt ther own style y copy them

[Noog]

I'll still hold out that the copycat thing is little youths on a hype - and that those lil' wannabe groups will fade just as soon as those young teens move on a bit.
Back in London Borough of Newham, there are some nasty & grimy areas - I'm thinking Canning Town, Custom House and Silvertown and bits of Beckton, West Ham, East Ham and Upton Park. Recently in Canning Town bits, a young father was shot at point blank by a local gang on his doorstep, can't remember their name though, after standing up for himself and family following daily harrassement. The gang had also slashed the boys face from ear to ear a few months earlier. Those bits still have those grimy white cockney types living thier, old crime families and the likes, who are on that hardman thing for sure (Same vibe as Bermondsey).

But the saddest part is that it looks like the girl was shot by her own 16 yaer old brother - my guess is he was jammin with a local crew and just got hold of a gun and was showing off and shot his sister by mistake, utter tragic foolishness.

if u mean dangerous as in stupid, yea, they'll b so wannab and prove themself as a "real" G and go do sum crime in broad daylight in front of 10 million cameras and go to jail for rest of life.
if they that dumb to copy crips and bloods they deserve to go behind bars

Theres a small group of 'South London Crips' talking with Ross Kemp on episode 4, but to me they look like any batch of mandem all across London - they are no different from any mandem - teens/early 20's - apart from wearing blue bandanas over their faces, thats it. But those 'Crips' have no history. They couldn't come up against PDC or if over theses East sides couldn't come up against Fieldz or any more established Hackney clique. They are a bunch of wannabe mandem who've lost the London ting to media hype!

Anyhow, away from CopyCatBritCrip things (the CCBC for short), heres some real Brit news


Man survived 12 shots at close range, trial told

Paul Lewis
Friday April 27, 2007
The Guardian


A man who survived being shot 12 times, including twice in the face, yesterday told a court of the "crazy" attack that left him "near enough dead".
Tony Woodbridge, who was left paralysed for life and still has seven bullets inside him, appeared before an Old Bailey jury in a wheelchair to give evidence in the trial of his childhood friend for attempted murder.

Mr Woodbridge, 27, described how he felt his legs give way after a bullet fired at point-blank range entered his stomach. He said it was only his will to survive that saw him get through the ordeal after doctors reconstructed his shattered face.

Mr Woodbridge's intestines were "blown away", he lost many of his teeth and his spine was shattered by five shots, the court heard, after an attack by two gunmen in Kennington, south London.

Leon Russell, 24, a former friend of Mr Woodbridge who attended the same Clapham primary school as the victim, denies attempted murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life. A second suspect - Sean Sutton, 26 - is still on the run from police, the court was told.

Brendan Kelly, prosecuting, said Mr Woodbridge was shot in September last year at about 9pm as he walked from his mother and younger sisters' house to buy cannabis from a nearby address. He was ambushed by two gunmen who frog-marched him to a waiting silver car.

He had seen the gunmen only the day before, the court heard, and they had given him a lift to do some food shopping.

However, on the day of the shooting the pair wanted information from Mr Woodbridge about the whereabouts of a friend. With a gun pointed to his head, Mr Woodbridge was told: "If you do as you're told you will live." But the jury heard he fought back against the two men.

"I just thought to myself 'I'm not getting in this car' and then it all kicked off," Mr Woodbridge said. "Sean slapped the gun in my eye, I was looking over to Leon because he was my friend. I tried to grab the gun off him and there was a struggle."

Mr Sutton shot him once in the leg, then Mr Woodbridge turned back to look at his friend, who opened fire, the court heard. "I saw sparks come from the gun, I saw sparks in my belly, then my legs went from beneath me. I knew I was paralysed straight away."

As he lay on the floor, helpless, he was shot in the face twice, then repeatedly shot in his back, legs and arms, the court heard. He woke up in hospital three days later.

Mr Russell, also known as Twin, from Brixton Hill, south London, had called Mr Woodbridge hours before the shooting to tell him he had fallen out with a friend and wanted to know where he lived. Mr Woodbridge told the court: "My friend took his chain and some money off him on the same day he shot me. He wanted to know where he lived, but I said I was nothing to do with it and that was the last thing I heard." The trial continues.

And another story of late from Manchester - about boys from a gang called Doddington busting into a Salford Mob pub (Doddington are a very established mainly black streetgang - one of the groups peeps from LA met with back in the early 90's after the peace treaties in LA. The Salford Mob are mainly old school white Manchester gangsters/crime families)

Pair get life for ordering pub assassination attempt


· 'Black Widow' was spotter for attack in packed bar
· Drinkers killed hitmen after gun jammed

Helen Carter
Wednesday May 9, 2007
The Guardian


A woman nicknamed the Black Widow and a Manchester gangster were jailed for life yesterday for ordering a contract killing in a packed pub which led to the hitmen being shot dead by people in the pub.
When Richard Austin, 19, and Carlton Alveranga, 20 - part of Moss Side's Doddington gang - burst into the Brass Handles pub one Sunday afternoon in March 2006 there was a large crowd watching a Manchester United match. The gunmen, both masked, approached the table where the target, David Totton, was sitting.

The attempted assassination had been arranged by senior Doddington gang member Ian McLeod and his sidekick Constance Howarth, who was sitting at another table in the Salford pub, apparently sending innocuous text messages, but acting as a spotter. When the would-be killers burst in, she walked into the ladies toilet and slipped away as chaos broke out.

Austin fired six shots, but Alveranga's 9mm handgun jammed and the pair were disarmed by people in the pub who then shot them with their weapons. Another drinker, Aaron Travers, suffered gunshot wounds to his chest, but survived, as did Totton. The hitmen staggered outside and were beaten as they lay dying. McLeod was outside in his Ford Mondeo. "Is he dead?" he shouted, before running over to one of the men, then driving off.

CCTV footage of the events of March 12 2006 disappeared. The pub was closed by Greater Manchester Police, but no one has been arrested or charged with the deaths.

Howarth, 38, said she was an administrator for the PMS security firm, but she supplied guns to gang members. She was convicted last month at Preston crown court of conspiracy to murder with McLeod, 42.

McLeod, who ran IMAC Security, was ordered to serve a minimum of 21 years. He had previously served 10 years for drug dealing. Sentencing the pair at Manchester crown court yesterday, Mr Justice Andrew Smith said: "Two men died, they were not innocents, but they were young, their lives were not expendable. In view of the calculating nature of this offence, I consider there is every danger you are incorrigibly involved in violent crime. You will always present a danger to the public."

He said Howarth should serve a minimum of 20 years. A third man, Bobby Spiers, is wanted in connection with the conspiracy but is believed to have fled to Spain. An international arrest warrant is open for him.

The trial heard a statement from Austin's mother, Bridget, telling how she had feared her son was becoming embroiled in gangs and gun crime. She said gangs were a way of life in Moss Side.

Howarth had a track record of involvement in organised crime. In 1998 she was jailed for five years, with Glasgow's "Mr Big" Paul Ferris, for trafficking guns, after police stopped her car as she was driving back from London and found three submachine-guns and silencers in the boot.

The Manchester court heard that the Salford hit had been arranged by McLeod and Howarth on the orders of another man. The motivation was the apparent loss of face suffered by Spiers after a petty dispute with Totton over admission to a nightclub, the court was told.

Detective Superintendent Andy Tattersall, of Greater Manchester Police, who led the inquiry, said: "This is a significant conviction. McLeod is an influential character within the underworld of Manchester and Moss Side. He recruited those boys and planned an execution. It's because of him they died. He used his influence to do his dirty work. He is a very, very dangerous man."

Bloods and Crips spread everywhere. Its now global, there are bloods in crips even in Saigon. No joke but London was the last place that i would think of to have bloods and crips, i dun know why.

Man what the fuck has happened to streegangs forum??? Ive been away 10months and it looks as though this place been invaded by aliens, teens and pre-teens the amount shit thats posted on here now???

England streetgang activity in that time has become much more of a public "conern" as can be seen by the explosion of media reference to the subject in recent months and the things that have happened across London mainly.

The yanks still not buying it? Nothing new there if so, the only thing this forum (after browsing around its new haphazard set up) seems good for now (to me) is a source of information that is harder to extract than a shag from a nun
