Crimewatch highlights schoolboy's stabbing

MOTHER'S TEARS: Negus McClean's mother, Ingrid, shares her heartbreak over her son's death on BBC1's Crimewatch tonight

THE MOTHER of 15-year-old London teenager Negus McClean will appear on BBC1 show Crimewatch tonight in a desperate plea for information over his murder.

Viewers will able to watch moving interviews with the schoolboy's family and a reconstruction of the events leading up to his tragic death.

Negus, of Edmonton, north London, was stabbed in April but no one has been charged with his murder.

The incident was alleged to have started over an altercation involving a Blackberry mobile phone that belonged to Negus’s younger brother Elijah.

He suffered stab wounds to the chest and thigh after being chased by seven young black males on bicycles who concealed their faces with bandanas.

The reconstruction shows Negus tearing down a road urging his younger brother to run to safety.

SELFLESS

His mother Ingrid said: "Telling his brother to run and not look back and 'just go' is him. That's just him.

"He would not have thought twice about himself, he would have just thought about protecting his brother."

The heartbroken brother is then shown breaking down as she recalls the moment she was told her son had been killed: "At first I could not understand what he [her other son] was saying. He was just screaming down the phone and then he said, 'Negus has been stabbed'."

At this point, a tearful Ingrid can be seen weeping into a tissue.

CLUES

Police are particularly on the lookout for one suspect who was wearing a dark coloured hooded jumper with a large Franklin and Marshall logo on the front.

Detective Chief Inspector Stephen Clayman from the Homicide and Serious Crime Command urged anyone with information to some forward. He said: "If you know something, no matter how insignificant it may seem, please don't hold this back.

"People may think that incidents such as Negus' murder are not their problem but they have a devastating effect on family, friends and the community as a whole."

Negus was rushed to Royal Halloway Hospital, in east London, but later died from his injures which a post-mortem found was caused by a single stab wound to the heart.

REWARD

Police have now launched a renewed appeal offering a £20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of those responsible.

A total of 12 young men aged between 14 and 20 have been arrested in connection with the murder, but have since been released on bail to return in August.

* Anyone with information is asked to contact the police on 0208 345 3775 or, to remain anonymous, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111

Black on black killings

I do agree that Jamaicans are involved in assinations, but so are a lot of black british and Africans. Africans are far from innocent. Read about a lot of the black on black killings, and you will see a lot of Africans are also involved in crime. At the moment I am angry with black youths on a whole, if fear everytime my young son goes on the street, i am particularly scared when he is riding his bike, just in case it get's robbed and refuses to hand it over. My son wanted a hat from East Street, he refused to go and buy it himself, and asked me to buy it, that is disgusting, when I was young we didn't have to worry about things like that.

We always quick to say racisim, but we are worse to our own people than white people are too us, white people are acually safer on the streets than we are, because black people dont really bother them from being in the worng ends, it is so ironic.

What can we do but try and educate them, who have they got too look up to, when many of this behaviour comes from their fathers generation. This is the result of their upbringing, unemployed wasters, smoking marujauna, and refusing saying me no work for no white man, selling drugs, not holding down a job, letting the state look after their familly, what else do we expect would be the product of all of this.

A parent knows their son has a LARGE FRANKLIN and MASHALL dark coloured hooded jumper because they would have had to wash it previously. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

Of course it matters, idiot! Life's hard enough as it is and I've no desire to be blamed for YOUR PEOPLE'S insane crimes! I guess you're too stupid to understand that! Why do you think that Africans keep their distance from us like the plague and it's largely 'thanks' to your people!

Cannot believe this

I honestly cannot believe what I have just read. Can you say with honesty that the perpetrators were Jamaican? Surely these crimes are being committed by blacks on blacks and more to the point, does it matter. How can we stop this is more to the point. How about giving our young black youths a stong sense of identity so they are not turning to gangs for inspiration. My understanding is that it is these gangs cross over many cultures eg Nigerian, Somalian, as well as Jamaican. Everyone is jumping on the Yardy band wagon but maybe we should confirm that they actually are Yardys before we pass judgement. As a person of mixed race who is half Jamaican I find this offensive

Well, it's not half as offensive as innocent people being murdered by principally, Jamaicans or people of Jamaican origin. Of course you would try to bring the Somalis and Nigerians into it to try to massage your guilt but, the fact is, that your people have been behaving like animals for decades, long before the Somalis or Nigerians even dreamt to come here in any number. I would have you all checked-out psychiatrically and the ones who don't come up to scratch, sent back home. There's absolutey no doubt in my mind that black crime in this country would be virtually non-existent if there weren't any Jamacians here.

Having watched the programme last night, all I can say is this: you JAMAICANS have a lot to answer for. You've denigrated the name West Indian or Afro Caribbean to such an extent over the decades that it is now worth **it! We all know that it's the behaviour of THE JAMAICANS which is the main problem with black crime in this country. Look at the state of JAMAICA itself, and you behave in the same mental way over here and everywhere you are. I don't suppose you'll publish this The Voice, but one day the truth will out and I will make it my business to let the world know how you've suppressed this information for years, thus preventing anything to be done about it and probably contributing to many more deaths and assaults which mightn't have happened otherwise. You would rather that ALL West Indians took the blame for your people's evil ways when you know full well that it's 99% of the time only YOUR JAMAICAN people who behave like this! The time is coming!

It grieves me to read your comments. You speak as though you know us all personally.... You don't. Not all west indies are as you described my friend. Some of us are respectable citizens who work hard and follow the rules. Its the minority that are spoiling it for the rest of us. So please don't tar us all with the same brush. There is good and bad in all nations. You say the time is coming, friend.....we are all gods creatures, the time is coming for us all including YOU. I despair, I really do at the ignorance of 'some' people.

I wish I could meet black people like you in person.
I have written to The Voice on MANY,MANY occasions and suggested that in conjunction with Lee Jasper they organise a protest march on the streets of London to campaign against black on black crime. The Voice REFUSE to do anything instead they prefer to focus on celebrity news (YAWN) or stories about injustices in America against black people...like those stories are really going to affect black people who are getting murdered by other black people in Hackney, Brixton, Peckam, Croyden etc ,etc

Typical "Head up your bottom" comment!

Why don't you look at all of the stories that have been featured in The Voice newspaper about the young black men and women who have been stabbed or shot to death on the streets of London in the last two years? 95% of them killed young black men. They victims range from;

A) The 5 year old Tamil girl who was shot whilst standing in a shop in south London

to

B) 16 year old Agnes Sina-Inakoju who was shot whilst standing in the Hoxton Chicken and Pizza takeaway in Hackney, East London

Why don't you ask the mother of Negus McClean how does it feel too know that your son's last moment on this earth was being hunted down and chased like an animal then killed by a group of black boys?

Why don't you ask the brother of Negus McClean who witnessed a group of people from his own race hunting down and killing his brother?

He will need to have counselling and will no doubt have nightmares for many, many years

And yet black people reading this who know some of the black boys who chased Negus McClean refuse too help. The prefer to comment on the"Should Chris Brown get back with Rhinna" story.If the police were looking for white boys( REMEMBER STEPHEN LAWRENCE?) the black community would be outraged!
In the meantime, keep stuffing your faces with bun 'n cheese.
