Story summary

Michael Ababio, an 18-year-old, was tragically killed in Coventry when he was chased and cornered by a group of young attackers. Chilling CCTV footage from February shows Ababio sprinting for his life through the city while being pursued on foot and e-bikes. He was eventually caught outside a library where he was stabbed to death.

The attack followed an earlier chase involving Ababio and another person near a mosque, after which they were targeted again by the gang led by Ismail Nabeel, also 18, who admitted manslaughter but was found guilty of murder at Warwick Crown Court. Another member, a 17-year-old (name not given), pleaded guilty to murder, while Mahad Mohammed (aged 19) and Shakeel Ahmed (18) pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

One gang member attempted to evade arrest by fleeing to Pakistan, though he was ultimately caught. The remaining suspects were later sentenced in October at the court.
