Former Gogglebox Star Sandi Bogle Disgusted At Nephew S Unsolved Murder As Hundreds Of Killers Still At Large Uk News

Sandi Bogle, one of the original stars of the Channel 4 series, told Sky News she is still in tears over the death of 23-year-old Bjorn Brown and feels “sick” knowing the people who killed him have not been caught. New figures obtained by Sky News show that 350 murders have gone unsolved in London over the past two decades – 12% of all murder and homicide cases in the capital – including incidents in which victims were shot, stabbed, strangled and drowned. Image: Bjorn Brown was stabbed to death in Croydon, south London, in March 2017 Of those victims, 148 were black and 142 were white – with campaigners raising concerns that “young black men are disproportionately more likely to be victims of unsolved murders in London”. Father-of-one Brown was stabbed in Croydon, south London, in March 2017 and died of his injuries five days later. Rapper Stormzy, a childhood friend of Mr Brown, paid tribute to him after his death and held a minute’s silence at one of his concerts. A £20,000 reward was offered for information about Mr Brown’s killers and CCTV footage of two suspects was released, with police saying a motive for the attack was unclear. Ms Bogle said appeals had failed to find those responsible and there had been a “wall of silence” over her nephew’s death. Image: CCTV footage showed two men approaching Mr Brown on his bike shortly before he was stabbed “It makes me sick to know that someone can walk past me … and they know the person who did it,” he told Sky News. “It’s scary because [the killers] they feel like they’ve gotten away with it to go do it to someone else.” He added: “I think it’s disgusting that after what they’ve done, they can still get away and be out there running, living their lives, like they’ve done nothing wrong. “I really think people out there know who has done it, but it’s always a wall of silence. “If they’re out there thinking they’ll never get caught, their conscience and their guilt and their karma will catch up very, very soon, because I’ll never stop looking.” Sky News has made a freedom of information request to the Met Police seeking details of unsolved murders in the capital. The force revealed: • A total of 2,876 homicides – ie cases of murder or manslaughter – were recorded in London between 1 April 2002 and 16 July 2022, with 350 unsolved in that period • 113 victims of unsolved cases were killed with a ‘sharp instrument’, while 98 were shot dead • Other methods of killing in unsolved cases included arson (four cases), drowning (one case), strangulation (eight cases), poisoning (nine cases) and use of a blunt instrument (18 cases)• About 85% of unsolved homicide victims were male (297), with 53 female victims• 148 victims were black, 142 were white, and 43 were Asian, while the ethnicity of 17 victims was not listed or listed as “other”• A total of 128 victims The unsolved murders were under the age of 25, including 29 victims who were 15 years and under. Thirty-three victims were aged 65 or older A spokesperson for the Met Police told Sky News that it records a homicide investigation as “closed” when criminal charges are brought and the case is referred to the Crown Prosecution Service. Ms Bogle said the number of unsolved murders was “heartbreaking” and was “disgusted” that hundreds of killers had not faced justice for their crimes. She said the victims’ loved ones were “going through the same pain, the same anguish, the same heartbreak” as her family. Pictured: (L-R) Tracy Bogle, Sandi Bogle, Bjorn Brown’s aunts and Maxine Brown’s mother “His son lost a dad” Describing the moment she learned her nephew had been attacked, Ms Bogle said she broke down in tears and screamed after her sister told her in a phone call while she was filming. “I felt like I was having a heart attack,” Ms Bogle said. “Everyone was devastated, my sister was inconsolable. “It was a sad moment. And it’s still a sad time because they still haven’t caught people – they’re still out there. “Every day it’s still a concern that they could do this to someone else.” He added: “We are still crying. I still cry over and over because you never forget. “He was part of our family. He was my nephew. He was my sister’s son. “She had just had a child. His son lost a dad. He still breaks your heart every time you see him. “It’s still very painful even after all these years. You never get over it.” Image: Sandi Bogle appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017 Read more: Former detectives reveal why some cases go unsolved Rape witness shot and killed years after convicts help Mrs Bogle described her nephew – who was known as Bugz to friends – as “an amazing young lad” and “very talented”. “We had fun 24/7 – that’s why he was always around my house,” she added. “If you ever called him, he’d say, ‘I’m around Aunt Sandy.’ The TV star, who appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2017, said she is still “very hopeful” her nephew’s killers will be caught. “I’m a very spiritual person and God works in mysterious ways,” he said. “I hope they don’t think they’ve gotten away with it, because they haven’t.” In a direct message to Mr Brown’s killers, or anyone who knows their identity, he said: “You must come forward. Justice must be served. I will not stop looking.” Image: The scene of an unsolved fatal shooting in Shepherd’s Bush in June 2020 “Met continues to fail black victims” The Race Equality Foundation said the number of black victims of unsolved murders in London showed “no lessons have been learnt” from the Macpherson report into the Met Police’s response to the killing of Stephen Lawrence. Jabeer Butt, chief executive of the charity, which aims to tackle racial inequality, told Sky News: “That young black men are disproportionately more likely to be victims of unsolved murders in London is not a random pattern. “It is clear that the Met continues to fail black victims, with the shockingly poor response to the murders of Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman and others.” The two sisters were found fatally stabbed in a north-west London park in 2020 and a pair of Met Police officers were later jailed for taking pictures of their dead bodies and sharing them on WhatsApp. Mr Butt continued: “Police leaders may point to reduced resources and the complexity of cases as explanations, but these cannot cover the complete lack of trust and effective engagement between the Met and London’s black communities.” In a swipe at Cressida Dick, the former head of the Met Police, Mr Butt said the force’s new commissioner must give the fight action plan “the priority their predecessor didn’t have”. Image: Bjorn Brown was a father of one – his killers were never found “Behind every unsolved murder there is a family looking for answers” The Met Police told Sky News that detectives are “working 24/7 using all the resources at their disposal to catch those responsible for any murder”. Commander Paul Brogden, head of the force’s homicide and specialist crime command, said: “Our homicide investigations are robust. This year 99% of homicide cases have already resulted in prosecutions and our investigations continue apace. “Yet behind every unsolved murder is a family looking for answers. “Homicide investigations are long and complicated and in some cases take years to conclude. “While this is incredibly difficult for those seeking answers, I want to reassure my loved ones that the Met has a long memory and that all these unsolved cases remain under regular review.” Responding to concerns about the disproportionate rate of unsolved murders among young black men, Mr Brogden said “unfortunately, different crimes affect different groups more than others”. He said: “It remains a tragic truth that violence disproportionately affects boys and young men, particularly those of African-Caribbean heritage, as both victims and perpetrators. “Similarly, areas of London with higher levels of crime, particularly violent crime, often tend to be home to more diverse communities.” He stressed: “Tackling violence is our top priority and we are working with our partners and communities to prevent violent crime in the first place.” In relation to Mr Brown’s murder, Mr Brogden said it was “never too late to come forward” and urged anyone with information to contact police.
