Vigil for Shooting Victims in Kilburn

On Saturday, a week after the Kilburn Shooting shooting a vigil was held for the murder victim Sabrina Moss, lots of people turned out to pay their respects on the corner of Kilburn High Road, where Sabrina and her friend Sabrina Gachette both 24 were shot after a night out in Kilburn for Moss's birthday.

It was a very sad occasion, respectfully marked, Sabrina's sister delivered a short statement to the journalists, through painful tears, evoking emotions in everyone around.
Many neighbours and people who lived nearby who didn't know either of the girls yet moved by the tragedy attended to show the bereaved family support and show that they cared.

The word amongst the neighbours and people of the area - most standing across the street watching, respecting the friends and family to be closest to mark the spot- was that Sabrina didn't even want to celebrate her birthday.
But more shocking was that someone said there had been a third person shot, that the police haven't mentioned or in many of the news reports.

TUESDAY 3rd SEPT Evening Standard Print

Then it transpired in a small print article in Tuesdays Evening Standard, that the man charged with murdering Sabrina Moss is Martell Rico Warren, 22, of Kensal Green. He is also charged with attempted murder of her friend Sabrina Gachette and two men, Mahad Ahmed and Edson Da Silva, and of course with possession of a firearm.
Perhaps these were the other victims on the scene local people saw, and the intended targets the news reporters didn't mention, possibly shot on the same night.

Whatever the police aren't disclosing it's a very sad situation. Many thoughts and prayers from those that don't even know them including local neighbours and all at this blog go out to the grieving and the recovering families and friends.

Real (dead) Mammoth in the Flesh at the Natural History Museum

Today the Natural History Museum (NHM) exhibits the actual remains of a Mammoth, a baby Mammoth named Lyuba (pronounced Loo-ba, meaning Love). Perfectly preserved due to the bacteria surrounding her after she accidentally choked to death, she was found by herders in 2007. She's been compared to the size of a 'large dog', and now hovers in a glass dark box in the middle of the NHM's new exhibition 'Mammoths, Ice Age Giants' . Emotive eyes As it's so well preserved scientists are still learning about it everyday; DNA samples have been removed and examined, what they know already is she died with some of her mothers milk still in her tummy. It doesn't get more personal than that, does it? I have to say as it's a rolling exhibit and Lyuba belongs to The Yamal-Nenents Regional Museum- Siberia, near where she was found; to see her in the 'flesh' as it were is truly a once in a lifetime thing. Personally I feel it is pretty impress...

The Great Fire! Fire! of London 1666-2016

You've heard the nursery rhyme, "London's burning, London's Burning.. fetch the engines, fetch the engines. Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Pour on water, pour on water" Well, it was no nursery rhyme. It was a true story... Barge on Thames w Shard in background. Pic Credit Hina Pandya 2016©️ Walking down the river on the 1st of September, I came across this barge by Blackfriars bridge and near the Temple buildings, if that walk wasn't beautiful enough, this barge appeared and shows the beautiful skyline of London in 1666, when of course the great fire of London happened. It started across the river in Bakers Lane and destroyed much of London, to be rebuilt and of course took many lives, but it also took the lives of the plague infested rats that spread disease to people like wildfire, if you'll pardon the pun.
