In Street View, my house (I don't live there now) is the first one on the right after the garden wall. My late friend Leslie's house is the one on the left with the foliage over the door. (She was the Scots-Canadian crime novelist Leslie Forbes, who sadly died in 2016 just before she was due to give evidence at Rahman's trial. She chased the killers off after the attack as they retreated to their vehicle.) Abdul was lying on the pavement (US 'sidewalk') under the black streetlamp you can see on the left, and his blood was running down the pavement towards us in quantity as we walked towards him and tried to give aid. We knelt by him and talked to him as he lost consciousness and Leslie held his hand. The first police officer on the scene, five minutes later, wobbled and almost passed out when he saw the casualty and the blood. He then recovered himself and asked his female colleague to fetch the first aid kit from the car and applied a large dressing to the enormous left-side chest wound with bits of lung hanging out, radioing all the time, 'It's a massive upper chest wound, it's air-venting, it's very very serious... oh dear... oh dear...' The ambulance was there in 15, and the paramedics took Abdul aboard and 'stayed and stabilised' before they drove him off, but we later heard he died on the operating table at University College Hospital from unstoppable internal bleeding. The murder weapons were a baseball bat and a meat cleaver. Murderers disgust me more than words can say.
I should pay tribute to Det-Sgt Nick Miller of Team 4 in the Major Incident Room of the North London Murder Squad at Hendon, who successfully concluded the Met's investigation, Operation Lockport, after almost 20 years, and brought both killers to book in co-operation with the authorities of Bangladesh, the FBI and the state and county police of Texas. Both killers got life with a minimum 18 years.
