RIFE
Gang violence has always been rife in London, especially North West London, where drugs and post code wars prevail over common sense and mutual love. Whilst undertaking research into the psychology of drugs consumption and drug dealing alongside gang violence, the arrest of Skrapt came to The Eye Of Media.Com’s attention. One teenager from the Mozart Estate in Kilburn who insisted on anonymity said: ” Skraptz was breaking(making it) it round here, building up his profile with music, then we hear murder?” Nah man, he should have carried on making his p’s. He is one of those guys that would no better than to just loose his freedom like that, but there is a lot of beef round these ways over all sorts.
Horaine Nicholas, 29, of Crawford Avenue, Wembley was also arrested for assisting an offender and remanded in custody until their next appearance on December 3. Police say they have also made two further arrests in connection with Mr Small’s death. A 28-year-old man, from north west London, was also arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder and assisting an offender A 32-year-old man, from north London, was arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and possession of class A and B drugs.
