Rukevwe Nathaniel Tadafe was stabbed in a fight with three men in Trundley's Walk in Bermondsey on 30 April 2016.

After being stabbed his friends put him into a car and took him to Molesworth Street in Lewisham where they flagged down an ambulance for him at about 8.40pm.

He was taken to hospital but died five days later on 5 May 2016 at about 8.25am. He had been stabbed in the back and the arm-pit.

A man that had been involved in the fight was tried for his murder in November 2016 at the Old Bailey but acquitted after he denied being the one that inflicted the fatal knife wound. He said that Rukevwe Tadafe had hit him over the head with a gun during a confrontation and that he had acted in self-defence in disarming him of the weapon.

Neither the knife nor the gun were ever recovered.

Rukevwe Tadafe was knicknamed 'Peanut' and was a youth club worker.
