Murdered: Shakilus Townsend
Four teenagers, including a girl of 15, have appeared in court accused of murdering 16-year-old Shakilus Townsend in south London.
Shakilus, from Deptford, was beaten with a baseball bat and repeatedly stabbed in Thornton Heath on 3 July.
Tyrell Ellis, 18, of Thornton Heath, two youths, aged 17 and 16, and the girl, were remanded in custody by Sutton Magistrates.
One man, 22, has been bailed while a fifth youth was arrested on Thursday.
The defendants will next appear at the Old Bailey on 16 October.
The 22-year-old man was bailed to return to a south London police station next month. (Source)
What a waste of a young life. What had he done to deserve dying like that?
It’s been said that this was over a 15 year old girl (who has now been arrested and charged) and that she filmed the attack on her mobile phone…… smh 😦
You have to wonder what exactly goes through these kids heads. When did they become so cold and evil?
Rest In Peace Shakilus Townsend.
