Portobello Road.
“We sent two ambulance crews, a single
responder in a car, an incident response
officer and London’s Air Ambulance.
“Our first response, a single responder in a
car, arrived on scene at 8.49pm followed by an
ambulance crew which arrived at 8.50pm.

sadly a patient was pronounced dead at the
scene by the Doctor from the air ambulance.”

Taylor was killed 10 days before his 11th
birthday after he was stabbed in his left

who have since been sentenced to jail after
they were convicted for manslaughter.
