Nigerian shot dead on queue in London [/size]

Wednesday, March 9, 2011




Sixteen year old Nigerian, Agnes Sina-Inakoju, was shot as she queued for pizza in Hoxton, East London. She died two days later in hospital in April of last year the Daily Mail reports.









The schoolgirl died after being shot through the neck with a sub-machine gun in a random attack, a court heard.

She was queuing for a pizza by the window of a takeaway with her friends when the two killers in hoodies pulled up outside on bicycles, it was said.

Calmly and without aiming at anyone in particular it is alleged Leon Dunkley who has the street name 'Bacon' casually pulled out a 9mm sub-machine gun without even stopping his bike.

He then fired through the window while Algerian-born Mohammed Smoured acted as lookout and back-up, it was said.

The single bullet hit the teenager in the neck and she collapsed immediately as the two cycled away as 'casually as they arrived'.

She died two days later in hospital following the incident in Hoxton, East London, in April last year.

The Old Bailey heard Agnes was the innocent victim of gang rivalry that plagued the area where she lived with her family.

It is alleged Dunkley and Smoured were members of the London Fields Gang who had an ongoing feud with a gang in Hoxton.

A week after the murder officers on patrol in London Fields spotted a youth carrying a rucksack who ran away when he saw them.

As officers gave chase the youth then aged 15 threw the bag over a garden wall and inside they discovered the sub-machine gun used to kill Agnes along with a second gun and bullets.

Detectives later raided the home of another 15-year-old who was being used by the gang to store guns and weapons and recovered a loaded Mac 10 sub-machine gun, a loaded shotgun and a loaded .38 revolver.

Prosecutor Simon Denison QC said: 'This case is about murder and guns and gangs. Agnes went to a local school where she was popular and successful.

'Her future was taken away from her in an instant just before 7.15 in the evening of Wednesday April 14 last year.

The court heard the teenager was queuing for a pizza by the window of this takeaway with her friends when the two killers in hoodies pulled up outside on bicycles

'It was a bright and sunny spring evening. Agnes had gone with friends to the Hoxton Chicken and Pizza shop in Hoxton Road.

'As you might expect it was a popular meeting place for young people in Hoxton.

'She was standing inside the shop next to the window. Two young men on bicycles wearing hoodies with the hoods up cycled up to that window.

'One of them calmly took out a gun, pointed it towards the window where Agnes and her friends were and fired.

'It was very quick. He did not even stop his bicycle. He did not pause to see who was in the shop or aim at anyone in particular.

'The bullet hit Agnes in the neck and she collapsed immediately and she died in the early hours of Friday April 16.

'The two young men cycled off as casually as they arrived. It was callous and cold blooded as it could be, carried out in broad daylight in a busy street in Hoxton.
