So far, four people have been arrested who could be responsible for his death.
One of his cousins, Noel, said that he was trying to protect his brother and that it was a selfless act, that caused him to die. He also describes it as “a disgusting act of violence”.

Negus is described as an intelligent and mature person, who loved making music.
He is one of the four victims who have been stabbed to death over the past four months, according to Scotland Yard.
Personal opinion:
I think this is a real disgrace and I honestly cannot believe that something like this could happen. Circumstances are not being given, just that Negus was trying to protect his younger brother, but what we don’t know is why his brother needed protection to begin with. Did the killer just started attacking him for no reason at all? Having said that, there is no excuse for stabbing something to death, so I hope they find the killer and put him behind bars for the rest of his life.

This is just terrible to read. Such a young lad killed… He did die an honourable death though; protecting his younger brother like that. I sure hope Scotland Yard will catch the killer soon!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt's a very sad post indeed. I went to the actual article to find out more, but you are right; there are very few particulars. I also found his rip facebook page, but there are some sad things going on there as well; a (aparently racist) girl posting all kinds of disrespectful filth...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenPeople are killing for less and less each day and it's terrifying and to be completely honest it's scares the hell out of me! But it's good to hear that there are still some people that are willing to give their life to save someone they love! My heart goes out to the family! and i really hope that they catch the bastards!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenFirst off I would like to say that, that boy must be one of the bravest boys of this world! Not many people would defend someone they love and risk dieing while doing so. I know I would do the same but I also know that many will not. It's a bit unclear what really happend there as no real details are given, I think it's really sad that, that boy died. A minor comfort is that he died while saving someone else his life, which is one of the most noble things you can do. I hope they catch the ones responsible for this and that they will be locked up!
