Facebook insult led to killing
A teenage boy has been charged with the murder of an 18 year old. Apparently triggered over Facebook postings.
Salum Kombo was found dead with stab wounds on Sunday, with friends saying he was targeted after posting a message on the page of another boy who was not invited to a party.
The police said the 15 year old boy was from Bow, East London and is appear at The Thames Magistrate Court.
Mr Kombo was was studying art at the Tower Hamlets college and was discovered bleeding by a passer-by around 6:40 PM
'We saw the kid lying on the ground with a crowd of young boys standing around him,' he told The Sun.
'I pulled up and got out of the car. When I went over there was another guy trying to stem the flow of blood.
'I was speaking to the ambulance while holding his head and trying to talk to him, trying to keep him awake. His eyes were flickering and I could see the life draining from the poor kid.
'There was so much blood. I have never seen anything like it in my life.
'When the ambulance pulled up he was still alive and they worked on him for about 20 minutes but he died on the pavement.'
Mr Kombo had posted messages on the page of another boy who was not invited to the party.
Friends said the pair had been "really close".
Salum - who died in a street after the attack on Sunday - was said to have been threatened after commenting on another boy's profile the day before.
A girl pal said: "Salum was killed just because he posted a stupid comment on another lad's wall on Facebook.
