00:28 - Within minutes of arriving in the nightclub,
00:30 he stood in an area where Edward Wilson has been stood.
00:33 My strong belief is that he is an individual
00:45 who has a very fragile ego.
00:47 He potentially felt threatened by Akeem's presence
00:51 because he was there.
00:51 We believe he was sat with two girls.
00:53 Akeem is described as a lovely man
00:56 who would talk to lots and lots of people.
00:58 And I just think that he was there.
01:01 He felt either intimidated or threatened
01:03 by his just mere presence.
01:05 His response was extreme violence.
01:07 Within a minute of them coming together,
01:09 Edward Wilson has produced a knife
01:11 and has stabbed Akeem to the neck.

01:35 - He was 29, so he was young.
02:02 He's got a very large extended family.
02:04 They were a very close family.
02:06 Understandably, they're devastated.
02:08 Akeem, they're described as such a lovely
02:11 and loving young man.
02:12 His brothers and his father are devastated
02:15 by what's happened.
02:17 Ultimately, their son, their brother,
02:20 has gone out on a night out,
02:23 which should be a happy and joyful occasion,
02:27 and he hasn't returned home.
02:28 The result that we've had will at least help them
02:31 to reflect that there has been some justice.
02:33 It'll never bring Akeem back.
02:35 Nothing that we can do as the police
02:36 can ever bring Akeem back,
02:37 but hopefully they can start then to rebuild
02:40 the next part of their lives.
