Tributes to 'dedicated' mum-of-two killed in crush at Asake gig

A mum-of-two killed in a crush outside a concert in London was known for her 'care, kindness and love', her family said.

Rebecca Ikulemo died this morning (December 17) following the incident on Thursday outside O2 Academy Brixton as Nigerian Afrobeats singer and songwriter Asake was performing.

The 33-year-old was one of three people badly hurt when ticketless fans tried to get into the show at the south London venue. The Metropolitan Police said Ms Ikumelo, from Newham, east London, died in hospital on Saturday, while two other women, 21 and 23, remain in a critical condition.
