The infant sons of a woman who died following a crowd crush outside the O2 Academy Brixton are 'starting to realise their mother is not coming home', family members have said
The infant sons of a woman who died following a crowd crush outside the O2 Academy Brixton are 'starting to realise their mother is not coming home', family members have said.
It is dawning on Ms Ikumelo's sons, aged seven and five, that something is wrong, according to their grandmother Yetunde Olodo, 59. She told PA news agency: "With the seven year-old you can see the sadness in him. I don't know if he understands it but he feels it because he is not seeing his mum around.
He added: "It feels like greed is one of the reasons why my daughter died and why all the things that should have been in place for safety were not there. This is why everyone should be working with us, from the Government down to find out what happened and to prevent it from happening again. "She deserves justice, deserves justice and there is another lady who has been in intensive - she deserves justice. Rebecca's children deserve justice. This is just not acceptable. The reality is that other concerts are happening and they are putting things in place for them to be safe, so why didn't they do the same for this? It should not be that you go to a concert and then die.
