TRAGIC TRADE NEWS FOUR TEENS CHARGED WITH MURDER OF
LONDON PRIVATE HIRE DRIVER GABRIEL BRINGYE
Four teenagers have been charged with murder after a private hire driver was stabbed to death in a ‘frenzied attack’ in his vehicle outside a school in North London. The body of Gabriel Bringye, 37, who was planning his wedding for later this year, was found in his vehicle in Totten- ham at around 7.20pm on Wednesday 17 February. Despite the best efforts of paramedics, Mr Bringye, who was from the local area, was pronounced dead at the scene 40 minutes later. Groom-to-be Mr Bringye was originally from Romania but had been in the UK for 13 years and had worked as a PHV driver in London since 2015. The investigation into the incident is being led by homicide detectives from the Specialist Crime Command.
Over £26,000 has been raised in a heartbreak- ing appeal by his family to ‘help take Gabriel home’ to be with his parents in Romania. A friend paid tribute to Mr Bringye, who lived in Leyton, East London, and said he was excited about getting married to his fiancée Mara later this year. They said: “The wedding plans had been put on hold due to Covid but Gabriel was hopeful him and Mara could marry this year. It’s an awful tragedy. He was the nicest, most gentle human being you could meet. He wouldn’t harm a fly. We are all in shock. “We don’t know if he perhaps got into an argument with a passenger and was
stabbed because of that. I can’t believe why anyone would want to hurt him. “We don’t know many details yet, he was working last night and was killed just after he had picked up a fare apparently. The police were called by someone who had been on a bus parked opposite the murder scene.” A 16-year-old male [D] has been charged with murder following the fatal stabbing. He appeared at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Friday, 26 February. Three other teenagers, aged 15 [A], 17 [B] and 15 [C], have previously been charged with Gabriel’s murder. [A] has also been charged with handling stolen property. PHTM extends our condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Mr Bringye at this very sad time.
