A driver murdered in an apparent road rage stabbing was named tonight as 22-year old Armando Gjikaj.
Mr Gjikaj, of Felbrigge Road, Seven Kings, east London, who is thought to be Kosovan, was brutally beaten, knifed and had his head “kicked around like a football”.
It followed a minor traffic accident, described by detectives as a “small bump”, in Ilford, Essex, at 7.30pm yesterday.
…A police source said: “They stabbed him, pushed him down, jumped up and down on him and witnesses said his head was kicked between them like a football.”
The victim is believed to have tried to run for help before he was stabbed by one of the occupants of the Fiesta.
It was unclear how many people were in the Fiesta but they are all believed to have been black.
…The victim’s face is believed to have been left unrecognisable following the savage attack. He was taken to King George’s Hospital in Goodmayes, where he later died.
Det Chief Insp David Brown said: “This was a brutal attack and we are appealing to anyone who saw the initial collision or the victim being attacked.
…“This man was murdered over what appears to have been a very minor road accident and it is essential that we apprehend those responsible a soon as possible.”
A 36-year-old man from the Ilford area was being questioned at a north London police station.
This sort of savagery is just a particularly vicious example of the low level thuggery and savagery is common in London now. I regularly see people expectorating on the sidewalk or spitting wherever they choose. On the buses I have seen (and rebuked) 10 year old schoolboys sitting oblivious to convention and basic decency whilst elderly ladies struggle to stand right in front of them. Vulgarity and violence (verbal, physical and aural) is an every day experience for most Londoners. Public transport concentrates much of the filth and taints my sample, but I see drivers are less mannerly and too hasty to beep their horns after mere seconds of delay.
A great pox is the imported habit of beeping salutes to pedestrian acquaintances or to get pretty girls to turn around and be viewed.
I am thinking hard about a swift punishment I can use against these noise polluters. Perhaps a paintball gun? RPG?
