Shocking pictures of murdered teenager Shakilus Townsend brandishing a knife and gun emerged today, as police said five people have been arrested in connection with his killing.
On a website set up in tribute to Shakilus, friends have posted a picture of him menacingly holding a knife while in another he is seen posing with a gun with his finger on the trigger.
One of his friends, 'YungahJKid' has even posted a warning vowing revenge on the girl suspected of luring Shakilus to his death.

The 16-year-old makes what is thought to be a gang sign

In another picture, Shakilus makes what is thought to be a gang sign.

Four male youths and one girl are being questioned at two South London police stations in connection with his murder.
Shakilus, 16, was attacked in the street by a gang of masked youths armed with baseball bats and a knife.
People living nearby tried to save him after the daylight attack, but Shakilus was critically injured and died in hospital on Thursday.
Officers made one arrest around 9pm yesterday and the other four this morning.
Police have said that Shakilus was 'set upon by at least three black males who were part of a group of seven or eight, a black female was also present'.
The group were wearing hooded tops and bandanas so only their eyes were visible.
He was beaten with a baseball bat and stabbed more than once. Two knives were recovered from the scene, police said.

Shakilus was the 18th teenager to meet a violent death in London this year and the 13th to be fatally stabbed.

One theory police are investigating is that Shakilus was lured by a teenage girl into a 'planned and targeted ambush'.
Police believe the schoolboy was led by the girl to a street in Thornton Heath, South London, where he was stabbed in the chest and stomach. They are investigating whether he was murdered following a dispute over a girl.
His parents, Nicola and Derek, and four siblings were said yesterday to be 'devastated'.

The second picture is....erm.......errr.....a fake ! Made up by fascist, baby-gassing, racist Nazis in the police force, who just want to smear this fantastic, hard-working, church-going young pillar of the community.

I didn't read the source of the news at first, a British paper. Till the end I thought that this was something that happened in the U.S. and I wondered why would you post it here.

I remember once, while I was in London, some friends of my parents got in touch with me to ask me for a favour. Their young daughter was coming to England for a Summer English course. It had been arranged from Spain through one English language school. She was going to Oxford. Instead of arriving on the scheduled date, she arrived 3 days earlier, during which I should provide her with accommodation in London and then drive her to Oxford to check the facilities and the British family which she had to stay with.

As we arrived to Oxford, I rang up the school and asked them to confirm the address of the family house. They said that I should take her to the school offices first and then they would take her to the family. To make it short, I said that I was her cousin and that my uncle had instructed me to absolutely check her in with the family myself. They couldn't argue any further.

After a while asking for directions, we arrived to a council flat area. Not what you would have expected from a rather expensive course package. She had gone from disappointed to nervous in just a few minutes. She asked me not to leave her there. I calmed her down and told her that I wouldn't, but that I wanted to check to the last detail before going to the school to get her a better suited accommodation.

Bingo. As I rang the bell an 18 to 20 year old Black guy opened. I told him that I was looking for that family. She was looking straight at me with her eyes wide opened and moving her head in badly dissimulated way, as if saying please get me out of here now. I told the Black guy that there had to be a mistake because we were looking for a native English speaking family... he tried to speak, but I cut him and said that I'd rather speak to the school managers.

I knew what to expect. A mixture of "progressist" (code name for leftist) and self-righteous English. If you give them a small escape, they'll slip through it. So I went to the school in rage... I did mention the fact that they had been paid to place her with a native family and that I had few doubts that an Afro-Caribbean was a native. That froze them, as I expected. But then I insisted most in the fact that they had not been paid to leave a young teenage girl who barely spoke the language, in a rough neighbourhood, in a house with an 18 year old Black guy.

They tried to assure me... but they understood that an anti-racist speech was going to leave me cold. They would look for another family and in the meantime... I said that after this shocking experience I would rather she stayed in the school building, which had a fairly decent on-board accommodation, or else fly back to Spain.

Well, a lesson there for anyone who plans his child to go to learn English to England.

In the meantime, one of my sisters was learning English in Ireland, where she eventually spent two fantastic years and all the people around her were Irish. But not everyone has a mother who is very aware of her Catholic faith and culture.


P.S. There was no need to pay for an expensive school to be safe. Back at the time there was a cheap alternative for bedsits in London, with an agency called Meeting Point. But maybe some father would rather leave his daughter to her fate than with an agency run then by a man of very strong values, a known Italian Fascist, Massimo Morsello.

The Oxford foreign language schools have an appalling reputation among the local press and local Oxonians, both for the complete failure to control their students and their apparent disregard for student safety.
