A woman has died after being injured in a crush at a gig at London's Brixton O2 Academy that left several others hurt. The concert, by Afro-pop singer Asake, had to be abandoned part-way through after a "large number of people" tried to force their way inside on Thursday, the Met Police said.
Mother-of-two Rebecca Ikumelo, 33, from Newham, east London, died in hospital on Saturday morning, the Met said.
Her family said she was a nursing graduate known for "care and kindness".
Two other women aged 21 and 23 remain in a critical condition, police added. Asake said he was "overwhelmed with grief" and "devastated" by her death.
The artist said he had spoken to Ms Ikumelo's family and asked people to "keep them in our prayers".
In a statement released through the Met, her family said Ms Ikumelo was an "adorable mother of two children who loved working with kids". |  |

A senseless waste of life because I guess (tried to force their way inside?) ticketless gatecrashers turned up? [Post edited 17 Dec 2022 19:08]

I wonder if the gatecrashers will blame themselves or somebody else, maybe even the police?
Senseless waste of life, her children will always remember this Christmas. |  |

Could blame organisers, government, brexit, climate change, racism, but my guess would be police or security, maybe even both.
Anyone other than themselves. |  |

Another death tonight in hospital, one of the security which until she died was being shown in the video being kicked around the floor by several people (?)
People are …. | |

People are words I'm not allowed to use on here.
I watched the short video clip and must ask, if a black security guard had died at the feet of a mostly white crowd what would be said?
No need to answer, it's rhetorical. | |

It is the culture now, 100s or 1000s turn up to events when they dont have tickets looking to overwhelm the door staff and force their way in.
Not sure what the law is, but surely everone without a ticket should be charged with something? | |
