Note: This is not an official record and may differ from any lists compiled by police etc. It includes murder and manslaughter cases. Other deaths (e.g. unexplained) are listed separately afterwards.

1. Ermal Qose, 35, died in hospital on 2 January following a fire at a cannabis farm in Clapton, Hackney. Police were called to the lock-up garage in Southwold Road as firefighters tackled the blaze at around 4.10am on 31 December 2021. Ermal was an Albanian national and had no known address in the UK. Detectives said they had launched a manslaughter investigation and appealed for information. DCI Mark Rogers, said: “Ermal tragically lost his life having been trapped inside the locked garage which was being used for the cultivation of cannabis when the fire broke out. This is now a manslaughter investigation and, although officers have spoken with a number of local people, I want to hear from members of the public who were in the area on New Year’s Eve or who have seen people coming and going from the garage. If you can assist and have not yet spoken with police, please get in touch.”

Timothy Adeoye, 18 (31.03.03), was charged with murder. Donovan’s family said: “Donovan was born small with his dad, nana and three uncles at his birth. From the start he was surrounded by love and he went on to increase and attract more love as he grew. His judo instructor, football coach and even his barber loved him so much. His friends were of every age, colour and walk of life. He would pray for his friends and family every morning and night, and even the last morning one of us spoke to Don, he said – “I’ve said my prayers and done 40 press ups. I’m doing well, aren’t I?”. Every child is special, we know that, but Donovan was exceptional because his gift was making others feel special. He thought everyone was kind like him. Yes, he was a mummy’s boy, but he was a daddy’s boy, uncle’s boy, aunty’s boy, and his grandparents’ boy. He was confident, charming and was very much adored by his younger siblings. Although Donovan’s physical body was robbed from us – and we can no longer see, hear or touch him – in time we will take comfort in knowing that the love he had for his family and friends will continue to live on in our hearts and memories. Donovan was loyal and trusting to his detriment. He was a boy who was planning his birthday party at the end of the month. He finished his journey the happiest he has ever been and had so much to share around. There are no words to describe how much Donovan will be missed.”
7. Bartosz Wyrzykowski, 21, was stabbed in Lionel Road, Eltham, Greenwich, at around 5.11pm on 8 February.

She was ripped away from those who loved her so very dearly; her mum, dad, brother, grandparents, extended family and friends. Sabita was the most caring and loving person we have ever known. She inspired us every day of her precious 19 years of life. Her mission was to help everyone. She was studying psychology at City University to make this happen. Her whole life was ahead of her, a life where her radiant smile and incredible heart could only spread warmth and kindness. In her short life, she helped so many.

We can only pray that lessons will be learnt and that somehow, there will come a day when girls and women are safe.”

I urgently need to speak with everyone who was at the event and saw that altercation or the shooting. Even if you do not believe you saw anything significant, you need to come forward and speak with officers. I know that some people feel unable to speak the police, either through fear of reprisals or because of a lack of trust and I would like to reassure anyone who feels that way that any information would be treated confidentially. To anyone considering whether or not to come forward to police, I ask you to put yourself in the position of Sam’s grieving mother and father. They deserve answers.

59. Ghulam Sadiq, 18, was stabbed in High Road, Leytonstone, Waltham Forest, at around 2.15pm on 6 August. He was pronounced dead at the scene. DCI Linda Bradley said: “Ghulam was attacked in broad daylight on a busy street. The area would have been busy at the time of the incident.

No piece of information is too insignificant.”
