Gang feud leaves Nigerian teenager Kazeem Kolawole &two others sentenced to life in prison for paralyzing 5year-old girl in London


How do you console a family especially a mother who is left battling debt and  suffered insomnia and depression when she learnt that her daughter who was happily playing on the street has been shot and left  paralyzed? I bet you there are no words.
The shooting, on March 29, 2011 was captured on the store’s CCTV camera and showed the emotional moments. Roshan Selvakumar, 35, was shot in the face and still has bullet fragments lodged in his skull, Thusha Kamaleswaran  were innocent victims of the gang feud. It all went down last year, a for a gang shooting in South London, Thusha was playing in her aunt’s food and wine store in Stockwell, when she was accidentally shot in the chest during the shootout and hitting another innocent bystander, Roshan Selvakumar in the attack which left him with a bullet fragments in his skull and Thusha paralysed.
 
Kolawole was an accomplice to ring leader Nathaniel Grant, 21 who actually carried out the shooting and ‘sidekick’ Anthony McCalla, 20. The trio from the Organised Criminals gang, cycled to the store intending to kill rival gangster Roshaun Bryan of rival gang ‘All Bout Money’.
The three were found guilty in an Old Bailey Court last month of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to the girl and Selvakumar, plus the attempted murder of Bryan. Judge Martin Stephens QC said none of them had shown a “shred of remorse” since the trial began.

I’m impressed even the Police officers were so moved by the family’s plight that they have already raised £125,000 to go towards her care.
