sofyen was savagely stabbed to death at London's Victoria station may have been killed in a pre-arranged murder. The victim was chased through the ticket hall during rush hour on Thursday evening by a gang of up to 10 youths, all in school uniform. He was surrounded and repeatedly stabbed. Sofyen Ghailan from Acton, west London, died in hospital and a postmortem confirmed stabbing as the cause of death. The worst was 5inches deep, through his heart and into his spine. Another pierced the top of his right shoulder and then his lung. He had also been stabbed in his left leg, had a puncture wound to the top of his knee ,and a 3in cut to the back of his head. At the scene, police and paramedics went to the victim's aid as other police arrested fleeing suspects who were trying to board buses. Several teenagers were held in nearby Vauxhall Bridge Road and behind the Stag pub in Bressenden Place. Metropolitan police said: "I believe this was a pre-planned murder. A number of individuals travelled by various bus routes to Victoria carrying weapons, however I retain an open mind [regarding] motive at this stage. "We continue to appeal for witnesses to come forward and tell us what they saw on that Thursday night. The incident took place during a busy rush hour and I am appealing for anyone who was there to speak with us." More than 9,000 people joined a group called RIP Sofyen on Facebook. One of them, George Jolley, wrote: "RIP Suf it has been a shock to everyone, you will be missed by your friends and family and hopefully those involved will get what they deserve." Salimaa Deej Salvatore wrote: "You will always remain in our hearts Sofyen." knives and other weapons were recovered were recovered from the scene of the attack. sofyen was a young boy in the wrong place at the wrong time, the butchered him he had no chance to defend himself,, these people should not get bail they should bet life. where were the police, and what is the government going to do about this type of crime. they want our votes so they can earn more money, but they do nothing to protect our kids. we want answers and we want it now please join our cause.
