Michael Adegbite news.
This is a very sad death and waste of promising life! The irony is Michael Adegbite was actually an advocate against knife crime.The same crime that was to take his life!
28 year old Michael Adegbite, a model, fitness instructor and teaching assistant who campaigned against knife crime was stabbed to death after robbers pretended to be
interested in buying the second hand MacBook laptop he advertised on a classified website Gumtree for 200 pounds.
It was learnt that he went with a friend to meet someone they believed was a buyer in Enfield on Sunday evening but were confronted by 3 youngsters.
Police believe the men lured the 28-year-old to the rendezvous with the intention of mugging him for the laptop. Mr Adegbite and his friend managed to snatch the laptop back after they tried to rob them and the suspects ran off.
However, Police say shortly after the incident, another joined the victim and his friend and the 3 men set out to look for the group who had attempted to rob them. Minutes later, they found the group, a confrontation and a scuffle ensued on the street and Mr Michael Adegbite got stabbed once in the chest.
He died by the roadside 30 minutes after he was stabbed despite frantic attempts by paramedics to save his life.
