SHOCKED AND VERY SAD TO REPORT THE MURDER OF LONDON MINICAB DRIVER GABRIEL BRINGYE

The body of Gabriel Bringye, 37, who was planning his wedding for later this year, was found in his vehicle outside a school in Tottenham last night.

Mail Online reports that a bus driver parked opposite Mr Bringye's private hire vehicle alerted the police, and an air ambulance was called but he was pronounced dead at the scene 40 minutes later.

Detectives believe he was murdered by a customer who had fled by the time police arrived. Friends say nothing was stolen and they believe Mr Bringye was either the victim of a targeted attack or had been in an argument with his customer.

His sister has given police details of his last pickup which was an address in Tottenham. The fare was ordered through the Bolt mobile app.

A friend paid tribute to Mr Bringye, who lived in Leyton, East London, and said he was excited about getting married to his fiancée Mara later this year.

'It's an awful tragedy. He was the nicest, most gentle human being you could meet. He wouldn't harm a fly. We are all in shock.

'We don't know if he perhaps got into an argument with a passenger and was stabbed because of that. I can't believe why anyone would want to hurt him.

'He didn't have children himself but he doted on his sister's children. He was a great uncle and very close to his brother and sister, who lived near him.

Homicide detectives from the Metropolitan Police's Specialist Crime are leading the investigation. A post mortem is due to be carried out. There have been no arrests.

PHTM extends our sympathy to the family, friends and work colleagues of Mr Brinngye.
