London Evening Standard

Sunday 3rd May 2020



Two teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a young NHS worker was stabbed to death in east London.

David Gomoh, 24, was attacked in Freemasons Road in Newham at around 10.25pm last Sunday, just seconds after leaving his home.

His family were already grieving from tragedy as his father recently died from a coronavirus-related illness. His funeral had been planned for Wednesday.

Mr Gomoh, a nurse like his mother, was a key worker tasked with keeping NHS staff supplied with essential equipment amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

On Saturday, Met Police said two people have now been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with the stabbing.

Both remain in custody, police said.

A post mortem examination held at East Ham Mortuary on Wednesday gave Mr Gomoh's cause of death as stab wounds to the chest and abdomen.

Police are continuing to appeal for information about the attack on the Southbank University graduate.

Detective Inspector Tony Kirk of the Met Police's Specialist Crime Command said. “David’s family are going through unimaginable torment. Within days his mother has seen the death of her husband and son; his sister has lost her father and brother. Both are now heartbroken.

“David was a young man who had worked hard to put himself through university and, like his mother, worked hard for the community in the NHS."


He added: “David and his mother, who have done so much to help the community, now need the public to come forward and tell us what they know.

"If you have any information, please think of this young man and the suffering of his family and call us.

"If you don’t want to give your name, call Crimestoppers, but do make that call. David’s family deserve both answers and justice.”

Unbelievable/ Shocking

Tony there has been daily reports of attacks on NHS workers in the UK :cry: it’s been going on for weeks , what the hell is going In the UK.


Last year all I ever hear of was people were daily getting stabbed as well, knife crime should carry more severe penalties and carrying a knife should also carry stiff penalties.

It's not just the last couple of weeks is been going on for years and we are not the only country with the problem.

Kids have no discipline anymore because most of the parents were not disciplined either. We now have a second generation of people who think they can do whatever they like and to be honest they pretty much can because the police are powerless to stop them , teachers are powerless to stop them and the parents dont give a shit as long as they are not bothering them.

We really need to get back to proper punishment to teach them how to behave. Starting with the parents and schools.

Just because this kid worked for the NHS doesnt mean he was attacked becaus of it either. Its probably nothing to do with that but it makes a good headline
