Stabbed 16 Times in Ruthless Bromley Ambush
Ayodeji Habeeb Azeez believed he was meeting a woman he’d been chatting with online. Instead, he walked straight into a deadly trap in a Bromley car park.
A gang lay in wait, ready to rob him. One attacker wielded a large knife and stabbed Ayodeji 16 times while others helped steal his BMW. Bleeding and desperate, Ayodeji staggered from the scene, crying for help before collapsing outside a nearby home. He died instantly.
