Only kidding about Turpin Larry. You call it Red Turpin in the other thread and I'm sure you sing that rather than hoorah Turpin.
Damilolla was a boy of about 11 from Nigeria. His parents sent him to live with family here for a better chance. He was racially victimised at school and stabbed on his way home from a computer class at the library. He tried to drag himself home but collapsed and died in the concrete stairwell of a tenament. There were a number of people about. It is believed his attackers were children from the Carribean community.
