The biggest sales rush in British history was marked by bloodshed yesterday as a teenager was murdered in a suspected row over a pair of trainers.

Bargain hunters looked on in horror as the 18-year-old was stabbed in a branch of Foot Locker on Oxford Street in central London.

Witnesses said the teenager was amongst a group of black youths, thought to be rival gangs, fighting over the trainers.

The teen, named locally as 18-year-old Seydou Diarrassouba, managed to stagger outside bleeding heavily before collapsing on the street.

'It's devastating, I had lost contact with Seydou but he was such a big personality and a person everyone in Mitcham would know.

'He was just a good kid who always had a smile on his face. I have not had a chance to go out yet but I imagine everybody will be cut up about it.'

Asked if he thought the killing may have been gang-related, Mr Shaikh said: 'I cannot say if it was a gang thing, it seems more like it was just a misunderstanding between youths.'

Detective Chief Inspector Mark Dunne, who is leading the murder inquiry, said: ‘This is probably the busiest place in the United Kingdom right now on the busiest shopping day.’

The crimes brought a large area thronged by tens of thousands of shoppers to a standstill and closed many stores.
Scotland Yard said Oxford Street has today fully reopened to pedestrians, buses and other traffic, while a small crime scene remains in place outside the Foot Locker store.
Police commanders had to bring in extra officers to hold back crowds of bargain hunters incensed their spending spree had been interrupted.

Yesterday’s murder happened at about 1.45pm – the height of the shopping frenzy.

The sprawling Foot Locker store, near Bond Street Tube station, was packed with shoppers frantically sifting through piles of sales goods.

Police today appealed for any onlookers who caught the Oxford Street stabbing on their camera phones to come forward with the footage.

Detectives believe a number of witnesses filmed the horrific incident on their mobiles as the 18-year-old was knifed by a Foot Locker.

Det Supt John Sweeney said: 'There were several people who witnessed this event both inside and outside the store.

'A number of them recorded it on camera phone and we are interested in those people coming forward.

'We also want to speak to anyone else who saw what happened both inside and outside the store.'

Witnesses said a group of young men began arguing over a box of trainers before the victim was stabbed in the chest. It is believed the group may have been on Oxford Street on a shoplifting spree and were arguing over who stole what.

One said the killer said ‘Wallah’, an Arabic slang term for ‘I swear to God’, before plunging the knife into his victim. The stabbed youth pushed his way through the crowd of shoppers, many of whom did not realise what had happened, before collapsing on the pavement outside.
The victim is also thought to be known by the street name ‘Nutz’.

Paramedics raced to the scene as dozens of police officers, including armed officers and dog handlers, also arrived.

Many had to abandon their vehicles and run to the store as the crowds of shoppers were so dense that they could not get through.

A three-inch silver lock knife, which could have been the murder weapon, was discovered abandoned nearby. Other knives were also found.

who say islam is a religion of peace?
I doubt that.
Some months ago while in school on hostel. I recall watching this channel that showed a conference of islamic scholars around the world both with believers. The theme was islam the religion of peace. I will say it over and over again when i hear the words of these scholars i blived islam neva had to do wit violence just som pple mis-interpreting. So also others thought. But this activities going round proves otherwise. And i ask myself these questions are this muslim killers we see and hear of muslims? Or are dey d misguided goons? Or were those scholars liars?. Well bloody HYPOCRITES i call them. CHRISTIANS / MUSLIMS u say
