An appeal has raised nearly £50,000 for the young sons of a 33-year-old who died after being seriously injured in a crowd crush at Brixton’s O2 Academy.

Rebecca Ikumelo, from Newham, was one of two people who lost their lives in the tragic incident on December 15, which happened when ticketless fans tried to get into a show by Nigerian artist Asake.
