TRAGIC MURDER OF HARLESDEN BOY IS CAUSING A STIR

BY ERIC KING

The tragic murder of  a Harlesden  boy is causing a stir in the neighborhood, as whispers of vengeance spreads in the area for what many perceive as a senseless killing.

Telow is described as an intelligent  and academic child who was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time.  A few days ago, police dramatically arrested a suspect in Shepherd’s Bush, though no charges have yet been brought. The killing was over a stolen jewelery which was later showcased on a you tube video by a rapper.

Feuds between rappers have always been common, especially in America. One of the most notable feuds between rappers led to the killing of both Tupac and Biggie, after both just to engage in a malicious dissing contest, initiated by Tupac. There is no absolute evidence that this is the reason either of the rapers was killed, but many have stated this to be very likely. That’s of course if the rumors  that Tupac faked his death are false. That’s a whole different topic, but the official position is that he is dead.

UK is not much different from America when it comes to rivalry and some of the extent to which spite can go. However, a rapper who goes on you tube to show off a stolen jewelery is not a rapper with a lot of smartness, if any at all. Stealing somebody’s jewelery is nothing to be proud about, but even more stupid to announce a crime on you tube. Most sad  is the fact it led to the murder of an innocent boy. Having said this, some people in Harlesden who spoke to The eye of media.com believe the dead man was an acquaintance of one of the rivalry groups and may have been deliberately targeted for his connection with them.

One of our sources told us ” I think you will find that Tellow knew one of the rival groups, but he was a good boy who was friendly and likable, and did not get up to criminal behavior. However, round this sides, you an get in trouble just for knowing the ‘wrong’ person so to speak, he said as he signified inverted commas with his fingers as he uttered the word wrong. ”This area is hard core, it always has been, everyone has to know what they are dealing with around here”.

Others suggested that the ”beef” will be played out in more dramatic style, one resident youth telling The eye of media.com ” this is not over, you can bet there will be more people getting smoked (killed) or stabbed over this. ”Its tense around here”.

NOTORIOUS

The area of Harlesden is notorious for drug dealing, murders, stabbings, kidnappings, torture, among other horrifying crimes. Terrible crimes are committed everywhere, but Harlesden ranks high in the pecking order of street stabbings and murders in the UK. Lack of solid upbringing  from the families of many offenders, account for some of the reasons behind their criminal tendencies, and many come from single parent homes. Whilst some amazing kids have emerged from single parent homes too, they are generally the exception, not the rule.

Children from single parent homes growing up in tough post code areas like Harlesden, usually lack discipline, are drop outs or not academic, missing the love and discipline of the father, and have no positive male role model in their lives. The dead youngster in this story seemed to be on a sensible path, but was extremely unfortunate to be the victim of an execution about a matter not related to him.

DCI Mark Lawson said “The investigation to identify and arrest those responsible for this senseless murder is moving at a very fast pace, and I would like to thank everyone who has so far come forward and spoken to the police.”. The thought that the killing might have been a mistaken identity is very upsetting to the mind, but thorough investigation will continue to establish whether the victim had any connections with any of the feuding rappers in question.
