The rapper Hypo, who used to date Emeli Sande, has been stabbed to death at a party yesterday as the country celebrated a Jubilee Bank Holiday.
Hypo, whose real name was Lamar Jackson, had filmed himself arriving at the event in east London shortly before he died.Officers responded to reports of a fight, and found him with stab injuries at the event on Chigwell Road in Woodford Green.Police said they are still awaiting formal identification, but have informed his family who are being supported by specialist officers.A local businessowner said he heard ‘lots of shouting and cars leaving’.
Another resident who witnessed the scenes said: ‘There were people sitting in their cars and it looked like they were deliberately blocking this ambulance with its blue lights on from getting to the venue.’ The witness, who didn’t want to be named, said: ‘My house backs onto the venue the party was held in. The loud music started at about 4pm and I reckon there were like 100 people turning up to this party.
‘At around midnight I heard shouting and screaming and could see a massive fight with dozens of people involved. I knew something wasn’t right, I could just feel it…’‘My kids shouldn’t have to witness a murder scene from their bedroom windows. They were asking about it today, what do you tell a child about that? When police arrived lots of people had left but they kept some people to talk to them. What happened was just disgraceful,’ she said.
