Music student, 17-year-old Ezekiel Amosu, died after being hit by a bus while trying to escape a gang of muggers, a court has heard
A 17-year old boy was knocked down and killed by a bus after he was tripped up by a teenage gang trying to steal his mobile, a court heard.
A level student Ezekiel Amosu tried to run off after three hooded youths demanded that he and a friend hand over their phones.
The gang threatened them both with sticks and rocks in Walthamstow, east London, on January 24 last year, the Old Bailey was told.
Ezekiel’s friend managed to get away but a fourth gang member who was told ‘stop him’ stuck his foot out as Ezekiel ran towards him – causing the terrified teen to fall straight into the path of an oncoming bus, the court heard.
A post-mortem revealed Ezekiel died of multiple ‘crushing’ injuries to his head and chest and died ‘almost instantaneously’.
A jury was told the four boys – three of whom were just 15 at the time and none of whom can be named for legal reasons – fled after realising what they had done.
The teen accused of tripping Ezekiel had to be treated for shock and given sedatives when he got home.
But he was later charged with manslaughter after his mother called police and the three other youths were caught when Ezekiel’s friends picked them out in an identity parade.
Prosecutor Sarah Plaschkes QC said:
‘On Monday the 24th of January last year at about 7.15pm Ezekiel Amosu,
who was then aged 17, was with four of his friends in a place called
Essex Close, just off Forest Road, Walthamstow, close to Blackhorse Road underground station.
‘These
four defendants together with another youth were in the same area and
that evening the first three defendants tried to rob Ezekiel and his
friend of their mobile phones.
‘His friend managed to escape by running in to Forest Road.
‘The first three defendants then tried to rob Ezekiel of his mobile.

‘He tried to escape by running towards Forest Road but the fourth defendant, we say, tripped Ezekiel up causing him to fall into the path of an oncoming bus and sadly he died almost instantaneously.’
Prior to Ezekiel’s death, the defendants had picked up sticks and rocks and threatened him and his friend, the court heard.
But when his friend got away the gang turned their attention to Ezekiel, a jury was told.
‘They
shouted at him ‘give me your phone’, they threatened him with wooden
sticks and one threw a stone at him. Ezekiel managed to dodge the stone.
He must have been terrified.
‘He tried to run away. The defendants gave chase. It must have been obvious to the defendants that Ezekiel may go into the road.
‘As
Ezekiel was running the fourth defendant was coming towards him. He was
by the bus stop on a bike. He could see Ezekiel being chased.

‘One of the youths shouted something like ‘stop him’.
‘As Ezekiel came towards him he stuck out his foot and tripped him up.
‘Ezekiel fell straight into the road and into the path of oncoming traffic and the defendants ran off,’ Miss Plaschkes added.
In interview the boy accused of tripping Ezekiel told police it was an accident and said he was unsure if he had tripped over his foot or something else.
Miss Plaschkes told jurors: ‘The Crown’s case is that each of the four defendants are responsible for Ezekiel’s death.
‘The first three defendants are responsible because immediately before he sustained his fatal injuries Ezekiel was in fear of being physically hurt, the fear was such as caused Ezekiel to try to escape.
‘Because he was trying to escape Ezekiel met his death.

‘Ezekiel’s fear of being hurt was reasonable – he had been verbally threatened then had sticks and rocks used against him as weapons.
‘The defendants’ conduct which caused Ezekiel’s fear was unlawful and was such that any sober and reasonable person would recognise it as likely to subject Ezekiel to at least the risk of some harm.’
The defendants from north and east London, who cannot be named for legal reasons and are now all 16, deny manslaughter. Three of them further deny two counts of attempted robbery.
The trial continues.
