The horrifying footage shocked the world: Elijah Gokool-Mely, an 18-year-old from West London, was seen biking away and laughing after brutally stabbing 17-year-old Victor Lee, who was left to die in a canal. The murder, committed in broad daylight, has left both the public and authorities reeling, and the chilling details surrounding the case continue to evoke outrage and sadness.
On June 25, 2023, what began as a seemingly routine meeting between teenagers turned into a deadly attack. Victor Lee had arranged to meet Gokool-Mely and two other youths to sell weapons, including a crossbow and knives. Victor, who had taken to selling weapons online to make extra cash, likely thought this was just another deal. However, within hours, Gokool-Mely and his accomplices orchestrated a second meeting, where the fatal encounter would take place.
The attack occurred along the Grand Union Canal in West London, a secluded spot where Gokool-Mely stabbed Victor twice in the back and once in the chest. After the vicious assault, Gokool-Mely heartlessly pushed Victor into the canal, leaving him to bleed to death in the water. Two bystanders on houseboats attempted to save him, but it was too late.
