Police have renewed their appeal for photos and video footage from the O2 Academy Brixton crush.
The terrifying scenes on December 15 claimed the lives of mother-of-two Rebecca Ikumelo, 33, security guard Gaby Hutchinson, 23, and a 21-year-old woman remains in critical condition three months on.
People can share the footage or images through the online portal here or contact police by searching online for ‘Operation Wickmar’ and reaching the public portal through the link.
Detective Superintendent Dave Kennett, from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, said: “The effects of this incident were tragic. The surge in the crowd resulted in two deaths and critical injuries to a third person.
“It is important that we know why the surge happened, for the families of those who never returned home, and for the safety of those who attend music events in the future. If you have anything to share please do get in touch.”
Following the crush at Afro-pop singer Asake’s concert, Lambeth council suspended the Academy’s licence meaning it will not reopen until April 16 at the earliest.
DS Kennett added: “If you were there when this tragic incident happened, if you have footage or pictures of the evening, please come forward and speak to my team. We need your help to establish what happened so that we can provide answers to the families and loved ones of those who were so seriously, or fatally injured.
“We know there were thousands of people there and that many will have seen what happened. If you were there please don’t ignore this plea – imagine the families who are struggling to come to terms with their loss and do the right thing, share what you saw with my team who are waiting to hear from you.
“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has come forward so far, but we still need more perspectives of the events that took place in the crowd that night.
“We are carrying out a comprehensive analysis of any available CCTV footage in and around the scene, but, if you have footage filmed that night we’d very much like to see it.
“Footage shared on social media immediately after the incident showed dozens of people recording what was happening – we know that there is a vast amount of material on people’s phones, sharing that material with us would take just minutes of your time.
“Two people have died and a third is still very seriously injured and we owe it to them, their families and anyone else affected by this incident to leave no stone unturned.”
