We can expect to see some terrible repercussions from this."Abdul Momen, who works at Taste of India takeaway, said the murder was "shocking"."Normally it's just car accidents in Kennington Lane but this is very serious. There's so many gangs in this area so maybe it's linked to them."A post-mortem examination will be held at Greenwich Mortuary.
