This happened at 5pm, in the middle of a busy train station. A group of roughly 8 people chased him down and hacked him to pieces. To quote the article:
Seconds later a young man slipped a hand into his jacket and flourished a samurai sword, which he held up before shouting: "We're going to fuck you up."
Following his call, the large group of teenagers at his rear pulled an armoury of weapons from their coats and bags – kitchen knives, flick knives, metal bars and batonsOutnumbered and outarmed, his group peeled off and ran for their lives, but Sofyen, a straggler on the edge of the fleeing teenagers, was grabbed from behind.
With a thud, he was rammed against the shutters of a cafe in Terminus Place, outside the station, before slipping away and sprinting towards the top of the escalator that led into the ticket hall.
By now seven or eight rivals were on his tail and another CCTV camera picked them up as they bundled and pushed their victim down the steps until he landed on his back at the foot of the escalator where he was set upon.
Within 12 seconds, Sofyen was dead. The moment – played on CCTV footage to five juries in open court – is a mass of arms and feet, body lunges and the menacing glimpse of weapons being thrust into his body.Happy times indeed. What most struck me about it, was that it didn't take place in a deserted alley, this took place in a busy train station during the rushhour period. With plenty of witnesses to the act.A postmortem examination found 20 separate marks of injury on the body, including 11 incised or cutting wounds of which nine were individual stabs.
One wound to Sofyen's right shoulder was 12cm deep and had sliced into his right lung; another inflicted on the front of the chest had penetrated a rib, before wounding his heart and nicking one of his vertebrae.
Two stab wounds cut through his leg and there was a slash wound to the top of his head.
