THE HORRENDOUS KILLING OF 10 YEAR OLD DAMILOLA TAYLOR

SUPPORT THE CHANNEL HERE: https://www.patreon.com/ladyandthemannequintruecrime On 27 November 2000, ten-year-old Nigerian schoolboy Damilola Taylor was killed in London, in what became one of the United Kingdom's most high-profile killings. Two brothers – who were 12 and 13 at the time of the killing – were convicted of manslaughter in 2006.

Damilola Olufemi Taylor was born in Lagos, Nigeria to Richard and Gloria Taylor, members of the Yoruba people.He attended Wisdom Montessori School in Ikosi, Ketu, Lagos before he travelled to the United Kingdom in August 2000 with his family to seek treatment for his sister's epilepsy.

On 27 November 2000, Taylor set off from Peckham Library, south of London, at 4:51 pm to walk home. He was captured on CCTV as he walked away. On approaching the North Peckham Estate he received a gash to his left thigh, severing an artery. Staggering to a stairwell, he collapsed and bled to near death in approximately 30 minutes. He was still alive in an ambulance on his way to hospital. He died 10 days before his 11th birthday.

In 2002, four youths, including two 16-year-old brothers, went on trial at the Old Bailey for the murder of Taylor. The trial led to all four suspects being acquitted. Two were acquitted on the direction of the judge after he ruled that the prosecution's key witness, a 14-year-old girl, was unreliable; the jury found the other two not guilty.
As well as questioning the reliability of the witness, the defence presented expert witness testimony from Alastair Wilson, associate clinical director at the Royal London Hospital and one of Britain's top trauma experts, that Taylor's wounds were consistent with his falling on a broken bottle whilst being attacked. This was disputed by the prosecution, who argued that Taylor would have had to "take off and fly through the air like Peter Pan" in order for Wilson's theory to be correct. Wilson also admitted that "he had not seen Damilola's body or been given other information about the death." Pathologist Dr. Vesna Djurovic maintained that Taylor "was stabbed deliberately [with a broken bottle] in the left thigh, probably while he was on the ground."

Despite the setback, police kept the investigation open. New DNA techniques identified Taylor's blood on the trainers of Daniel Preddie and on the sweatshirt cuff of his brother Richard Preddie, neither of whom were among the four original subjects. This led to a re-examination of the evidence obtained at the time of Taylor's death.In 2005, fresh arrests were made, resulting in Hassan Jihad, 19, and the Preddie brothers, aged 16 and 17, being charged with manslaughter. Due to their age, the Preddie brothers were not publicly named at the time of their arrest or during their trial.
