Manchester United footballer Timothy Fosu-Mensah leads tributes to DJ Nana Banger stabbed to death at house party

Manchester United footballer Timothy Fosu-Mensah has led tributes to a DJ who was stabbed to death at a house party in north east London.

The victim, 20, named online by his DJ name Nana Banger, died after being stabbed at an 18th birthday party in Stamford Hill on Friday night.

He died in the early hours of Saturday morning. A 17-year-old was also wounded at the event.

Dutch Manchester United player Timothy Fosu-Mensah, 20, who is currently on loan to Fulham, posted online: "RIP to you my brother... love U may god bless U @nanabanger."

Detective Chief Inspector Andrew Packer said: “Another family has been left devastated by the senseless loss of a young life to knife crime, and we’re doing all we can to bring those responsible to justice.

“What we know so far is that all three of these victims appear to have been attending a large house party at the address on Wilderton Road.

"I want to hear from anyone who was at that party, even if they didn’t witness the assaults, they may have some information that could help us piece together the course of events that led to this tragedy.

“We will continue to work tirelessly on this case, but as ever we need witnesses to come forward and tell us what they know."

Images shared on social media showed a note apparently sent to neighbours letting them know that a party was going to take place at the house on Wilderton Road.

It read: "I wanted to let you know that we will be having a party at our home on Friday 21st September 2018 and there may be a number of people parking on the road and noise from music and guests.

"The event is starting around 8pm and planned to finish at 12pm when the music will be turned down and any remaining party guests taken inside.

"I wanted to apologise in advance for any inconvenience and I will do my very best to keep the music level and noise to a respectable level and ensure that our guests leave quietly."

There was also an angry backlash from party goers after footage of the stabbing was apparently posted on Snapchat.

One woman wrote online: "How are you posting a video of someone dying? Posting a video like that? Who actually raised you?"

In further violence in London this weekend, a man was shot dead in Walthamstow.

The teenager, 19, died after being rushed to hospital by friends after being hit.

There have been no arrests in either incident and police are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

Witnesses are being told to contact police on 0208 345 3865 for the Stamford Hill murder or to contact police on 101 for the Walthamstow shooting quoting reference number CAD 7639sep22.
