A drill rapper who stabbed a rival gang member in the heart, leaving him in coma from which he may never emerge, has been jailed for 14 years.
Joshua Erorh, 18, stabbed “quiet and shy” 21-year-old Ahmad Torfi twice in the chest outside After Hours takeaway, on New Cross Road, on March 14, 2020.
Erorh posted a music video boasting about the attack, referencing Ahmad's food order.
Ahmad, who worked as a steward at events including football matches and concerts, survived after paramedics performed open heart surgery on the roadside, watched by his twin brother.
But he suffered severe brain damage, and nearly a year on has never regained consciousness and remains in hospital, where his family said doctors believe he will eventually die.
