Victim Anthony Ogazi

A TEENAGER accused of murdering a music student in a botched drugs robbery claimed the real killer was the boss of his South London street gang.

Ashley Cudjoe-Butcher, 18, was part of a group of seven youths who surrounded Anthony Ogazi, 21, in a communal garden, before kicking, punching and stabbing him to death, it is claimed.

Cudjoe-Butcher had joined the other youths on a mission to steal £700 worth of cannabis from small time drug dealer Richard Barry – led by boss Peter Reis-Relvas, 20.

Earlier in the trial, Reis-Relvas told the court that, although he had ordered the others to rob Mr Ogazi, he had not had anything to do with the killing.

Reis-Relvas, of Lockwood House, Kennington; Aaron Kendall, of Bedwell House, Stockwell Park; Demetre Fogo, of Purser House, Brixton; Sebastian Garcia-Atehortua, of Hathway House, Gibbon Road, Southwark; Cudjoe-Butcher, of Streatham, and two teenagers, who both come from the South London area, all deny murder.

Reis-Relvas and Fogo admit conspiring to rob Anthony, a charge the other five deny. The trial continues.
