A 23-year-old female security
guard, Gabriella Hutchinson, has lost her life following the injuries she
sustained in a crush outside a concert by Nigerian Afrobeats singer Asake in
London, police in the British capital said Monday.
Daily Mail reports that the victim,
who was working as a contracted security provider at the concert, died on
Monday at the hospital four days after the incident on Thursday night.
Hutchinson became the second victim
who lost her life in the incident, after 33-year-old Rebecca Ikumelo died on
Saturday.
The Metropolitan Police disclosed
that a third woman, 21, who was still receiving treatment, was in critical
condition.
Chief Superintendent Colin
Wingrove, policing commander for Lambeth and Southwark, said, “It is
devastating news that a second person has lost their life following the events
on Thursday.
“I wish to express my heartfelt condolences to Gabrielle’s family at this unimaginably difficult time.”
