Black-on-black crime in Britain: A university dropout has been jailed for eight years for killing a budding children's TV actor and DJ who was stabbed in the heart

Carl Beatson Asiedu, 19, who appeared in several episodes of the CBBC programme MI High, was killed outside Club Life in Vauxhall, south London, in August 2009. The teenager, a student at Leicester's De Montfort University, had also featured in an anti-knife crime video produced by the Black Police Association. Earlier, Asiedu, the son of a pastor and a midwife, and his friend and fellow student Peter Lama - who was also stabbed but survived - had been performing there with their rap group Kid 'n' Play. Junior Ademujimi-Falade, 21, of Camberwell, south London, was found guilty of manslaughter at the Old Bailey. Asiedu, who had attended St Francis Xavier College in Clapham, south London, was attacked by a group including former school bullies who detectives believed may have been jealous of his success. Ademujimi-Falade had also gone to university in Leicester, but dropped out after failing his first year exams. He was a friend of the suspected knifeman, who is believed to have fled to Nigeria.
