Tributes pour in for model with 'beautiful soul' after tragic death

Tributes have poured in for a model with a 'beautiful soul' who was killed in his flat.

Nelson Asu was killed after two men, who pretended to be gay, gained his trust and entered his flat. On November 21, 1996 Nelson attended a gay club, which was then called the She Club on Victoria Street, when he met two men who pretended to be gay to gain Nelson’s trust and around 7.30pm the three of them made their way back to Nelson’s flat.

At some point in the evening, the two men revealed they were thieves and proceeded to threaten Nelson with a knife, pushed him to the ground and tied him up. Finally, they placed a red cloth over his face and head and as they prepared to leave his flat they forced him into a trunk with no room to move.
