Two men have been jailed over the murder of a father-to-be who was stabbed to death at a rave in south-east London.

Renea Campbell was fatally injured when a fight broke out close to an industrial estate in Abbey Wood in June last year.

Police officers rushed to Felixstowe Road where Mr Campbell and three other men had been stabbed.

The 26-year-old was taken to an east London hospital where he died from a single stab wound.

Mr Campbell had been out celebrating the news he was to become father to a second son with his brother Rico.

The pair were also both celebrating getting new jobs, their mother Claudette Campbell said in a statement.

She said her world “came crashing down” after hearing “something bad” had happened to her sons.

The statement read: “I have been living in the worst nightmare ever since. 

"Renea and I shared a bond which was unique, he was my first child and I adored him from the moment he was born, he was my friend as well as my son and would regularly go out with me just to be with me, even on boring shopping trips. 

“He liked to be my protector and would always need to know where I was going and make sure that I was safe and ok. 

“I miss him and my heart hurts every single day. Renea was a loving, caring young man with genuinely good values, manners a bright future and a smile which always made me smile with him.”

She went on to describe her sorrow that her son never met his youngest child.

Mrs Campbell said: "My two grandsons will never see their dad and he was an amazing father who couldn't wait to meet his new son.

"Time has gone on, a year and a half later my grandson is a year older and the son Renea, never got to see is now a year old.

“Both his children have missed out on many things with their dad. The communication, the first steps. Renea would have been there for those special moments in his son’s life, but they were cut short.”

Damien Fraser, 27, from Somerfield Grove, Tottenham was jailed for 21 years at the Old Bailey on Monday.

Aiden Mcgowan, 25, of Northumberland Park, Tottenham, was jailed for 19 years.

He was found guilty of murder, GBH, violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon at the same court on December 14.

Rennae Henriques, 29, of Gillham Terrace, Tottenham, was jailed for two-and-a-half years for violent disorder immediately after the incident.

A charge of violent disorder Trimaine Laing, of Newington Green, Islington was dropped.
