A gang member has been jailed after stabbing him to death in broad daylight while shouting ‘die, die, die’.

In CCTV footage, Charles can be seen chasing Mr O’Neill through quiet residential streets in Hayes, west London on May 18, 2023 following an altercation between rival gangs.

After cornering him, Charles used two knives to stab his victim multiple times as he screamed ‘die, die, die’.

The killer was then caught on separate footage calmly walking away,before escaping by trespassing through people’s gardens.

During Charles’s murder trial, the jury head how he disposed of a knife at a nearby address, before fleeing the area and disappearing for just shy of a year.

Over the course of the next ten months, police detectives pieced together the course of events, while conducting an extensive man hunt.
