Police Hunt for Photos After Deadly Crowd Surge at London Gig
The Met Police are urgently seeking photos and videos from the tragic crowd surge that rocked a London music event on Thursday, 15 December.
Two Dead, One Critically Injured in Horror Incident
Detective Superintendent Dave Kennett, of the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said the surge caused “tragic” consequences. Two people, 33-year-old Rebecca Ikumelo and 23-year-old Gaby Hutchinson, died in hospital days after the chaos. A 21-year-old woman remains critically ill.
“The surge in the crowd resulted in two deaths and critical injuries to a third person,” Kennett said. “We need to know why this happened — for the families of those who never came home and to keep future concertgoers safe. If you have anything to share, please get in touch.”
