Young sons of Brixton Academy crush victim 'starting to realise mum isn't coming home'

The infant sons of a woman who died following a crowd crush outside the O2 Academy Brixton are 'starting to realise their mother is not coming home', family members have said.

Rebecca Ikumelo, 33, of Newham, east London, and security worker Gaby Hutchinson, 23, of Gravesend, Kent, who was on duty at the south London venue, died days after being hurt when ticketless fans tried to get into a show by Nigerian Afrobeats artist Asake in December. Meanwhile a 21-year-old woman is still seriously ill in hospital.

According to bereaved relatives, trying to grieve is being made harder without answers as to why the crush happened. The heartbroken loved ones are now calling on people to come forward with information to help the police investigation.
