LONDON BLOODBATH: Student stabbed to death on way home from West Ham match
"Model son" Sami Sidhom was murdered only a few yards from his front door
Sami Sidhom was returning home after a West Ham United football match on April 16 when he was set upon by by a number of attackers and stabbed multiple times in the back.
The teenager, who was studying law at Queen Mary University, died at the scene, only a few yards from his front door in Forest Gate, east London.
A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder on Monday afternoon and he is being questioned at a police station in east London.
In a statement released by the Metropolitan Police, Sami’s family said that it is “shameful” that knives are carried on Britain’s streets and asked “how many more have to die” before the issue is properly confronted.
