Tragic stabbing at illegal rave: Jason Nyarko, 26, killed on Stockholm Road
Young man fatally stabbed at unlicensed music event
Jason Nyarko, 26, was fatally stabbed during an unlicensed music event on Stockholm Road, SE16, in the early hours of Saturday, 26 June. Police were called at around 11.45pm after reports of the stabbing inside an industrial unit. Despite emergency services rushing to the scene, Jason was pronounced dead shortly after.
Police urge witnesses to come forward, promise no trouble
Detective Chief Inspector Brian Howie from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command is appealing for witnesses. He said:
“While we have made progress, many who were there have not yet come forward. Some may fear repercussions due to the event being unlicensed during Covid, but I assure you, you will not face any trouble for attending. Even the smallest detail could be vital to solving this case.”
Officers especially want to speak to anyone who saw or recorded any part of an argument, fight, or the stabbing inside the warehouse.
Heartbroken family demand justice for Jason
Jason’s sister, Goldie Nyarko, described the overwhelming pain the family feels:
“Losing Jason has ripped our family apart. He was the glue that held us together — a twin, brother, son, uncle, cousin, and nephew loved by so many. Twenty-six years of happiness snatched away in a horrific instant. “Jason deserves justice. We believe many people have not yet spoken out and urge them to do the right thing. Jason went out for a night and never came home. Please share any information you have with the police.”
