Five Thugs Jailed Over Fatal Fulham Bike Attack
Amrou Greenidge, just 18, was cycling through Fulham on 18 August 2019 when a gang targeted him in a brutal attack. They struck him with a stolen car before raining blows down on him while armed. Amrou died two days later from his injuries.
Old Bailey Hands Down Heavy Sentences
After a tense seven-week trial, the Old Bailey sentenced all five attackers on Monday, 23 August:
- Kai McDonald, 18, Hammersmith & Fulham – manslaughter, jailed for 9 years 9 months.
- Anas Osman, 19, W12 – manslaughter, jailed for 11 years 9 months.
- Darrel Mortimer, 21, W14 – manslaughter, jailed for 17 years.
- Connor Gwynn-Bliss, 21, W6 – manslaughter, arson, and perverting justice, jailed for 20 years.
- Levar Jackson-Scott, 18, Hammersmith & Fulham – manslaughter, jailed for 12 years 6 months.
Hunt for Justice After Cowardly Attack
Police were called around 2.40pm on 18 August to Broomhouse Lane SW6, where Amrou was found with terrible head injuries. He was rushed to hospital but died two days later.
Investigators learned Amrou was chased by a masked gang in dark clothes. They deliberately hit him with a Mini Countryman – stolen six days prior – knocking him off his bike. The gang then savagely attacked him on the ground.
The getaway car was later found burned out on Dymock Street, damaging three parked vehicles nearby.
Breakthrough From CCTV and Arrests
CCTV footage from the scene and where the car was abandoned helped police identify the culprits. The five suspects were caught getting out of the car.
Officers quickly tracked them down and arrested:
- Levar Jackson-Scott on 19 August
- Connor Gwynn-Bliss in hospital with burns on 19 August
- Anas Osman at Luton Airport later on 19 August
- Darrel Mortimer in Northamptonshire on 22 August
- Kai McDonald, the driver, on 26 August
Detectives: “Deliberate, Planned, and Cowardly”
“Amrou was deliberately targeted by the defendants, who laid in wait for him with the sole aim of inflicting serious injury,” said Detective Chief Inspector Chris Wood.
“They used balaclavas and hoods to conceal their identities. The stolen car became a weapon and their escape method. They changed clothes to avoid detection.
“This was a cowardly attack. Amrou was heavily outnumbered and caught unaware. Even after he was knocked down and critically injured, they continued their assault.”
“None of those convicted have offered any reason for their savage attack.”
