Shot in the head while eating dinner with her family - she was the nine-year-old victim of one of London's most brutal gang wars.

The girl had been sitting inside a Turkish restaurant in Dalston, east London, when a gunman on a motorbike opened fire on three rivals sitting nearby. One of the six bullets lodged in her brain, leaving her with potentially lifelong health complications.

Javon Riley, 33, who helped arrange the drive-by shooting, has now been convicted at the Old Bailey of four counts of attempted murder in what prosecutors described as 'a planned assassination of members of a rival gang Mr Riley and others'.

Those 'others' are the Tottenham Turks, sworn rivals of their Turkish rivals, the Hackney Bombers. The three men, Mustafa Kiziltan, Kenan Aydogdu and Nasser Ali - who all survived - were allegedly affiliated to the Bombers, or 'Bombacilars'.

While undoubtedly the most shocking outbreaks of London gangland violence in recent memory, the horrific events of May 2024 were just one episode in a long feud between the two gangs that has claimed at least eight lives in the capital.
