A Year After Brixton Academy Crush, Victims' Families Still Seek Answers

Families criticize Afrobeats artist Asake for lack of support in ongoing investigation, urge him to appeal to fans for information.

One year after the fatal crush at a concert by Afrobeats artist Asake at Brixton Academy, the families of victims Rebecca Ikumelo and Gaby Hutchinson are still seeking answers.
The families have criticized Asake for not doing enough to support the investigation and have urged him to use his influence to appeal for more information from his fans.
The venue faced potential closure after the incident but was allowed to continue operating under 77 new conditions set by Lambeth council’s licensing subcommittee.
The Metropolitan police have released CCTV images of people they wish to speak to in relation to the crush and have made one arrest as part of the investigation.
A third victim of the crush remains in critical condition a year after the incident.
