A man was stabbed to death by a mob in front of his
screaming girlfriend on a leafy suburban street.
The victim was surounded by the group of men and knifed on a
tree-lined avenue in North Finchley where houses sell for £1million.
The man, named by friends as Ali Nasro, was cradled by his
girlfriend who cried “I love you” as he lay dying in the middle of the road.
Witnesses who tried to revive him today told how he was
involved in a row with a man over £120 just minutes before a car with three
more people pulled up and ambushed him.

He was beaten up before being slashed across the chest in
front of his girlfriend who was sitting waiting for him in their car parked
just yards from the scene on Woodside Grange Road.
The 22-year-old victim, believed to be from Hatch End, north
west London, was seen staggering from the entrance of an alleyway off the
street before collapsing in the car park.
The killing, yesterday afternoon at about 2.40pm, was
opposite a children’s nursery.
One witness said: “You could hear shouting. They were saying
‘you were supposed to give me my £120, ‘why didn’t you bring my £120?’
“Then three men turned up in a car and they all got into an
argument. One of them then slashed him across the chest.
“I ran out with tea towels and tried to save him by putting
pressure on his chest wound. By this time his girlfriend had got out of the car
when she saw him staggering away, and was just screaming and screaming ‘they
have stabbed him’, and while he was on the floor she was screaming ‘Ali I love
you, I love you Ali’.
“She was praying there on the floor next to him and reciting
the Koran while he was in and out of consciousness. It was terrible. I couldn’t
sleep last night, all I can see is his face.”
