UK Rapper C Biz Charged with Murder.

Rapper David Osadebay, known as C-Biz has been charged at the Old Baileys for the murder of Oliver Tetlow in a shooting incident in Harlesden. The 29 year old rapper, appeared via a video link from Belmarsh prison on Friday 9th of September. In the video link he was alongside three other co-defendent who are accused of killing mr Tetlow in a suspected gang attack in March.

The 27-year-old victim was shot six times on Church Road in a drive-by said to have been sparked by a feud between London rappers. The hearing was held to decide who would represent the four at trial after Osadebay and Siamino indicated they wanted to change their defence counsel. Judge Mark Lucraft, QC, said there were 133 witness statements and 3,000 pages of evidence relating to the murder, and said “the real core of this case is the usage of telephones” by the defendants. The four will next appear at the same court on 14 October

Oliver Mother wrote a statement about her sons death. Read the A mother’s tribute below.

“On the evening of Wednesday, 9 March, my son Oliver Tetlow was shot and killed. It wasn’t a killing, it was an execution. This country holds itself up as model of democracy with fair and open trials before judgement is passed. It is transparent so people can see justice being done, and done fairly. An execution of this sort doesn’t fit it with the model of this country, and as such it was illegal at any level.

My son was an innocent bystander and was ‘accidently shot’. It is a heartbreaking tragedy that any mother or parent will understand. I hope that everyone reading my plea will consider this: Next time it could be a member of your family, or even a close friend. The only way to stop this happening again is for people to come forward and provide information that will see the killer and accomplices brought to trial as soon as possible.

These people claim to have no fear but that do have one overriding fear and that is of being caught. Let’s reflect that fear by passing on information that will see them being caught. Providing information in this case isn’t a matter of honour, these people do not respect the honour or safety of people, not of their kind. They believe they are a law unto themselves.

Please, please help me and yourselves to bring the killer of my son and the accomplices of the killer to the full justice of this country. My son’s death will not then have been in vain, you may save some innocent person, or the life of one of your family or close friends.

I miss my son very much. Our family miss him very much; he was loved and is still loved. I hope you’re never put into the awful situation that we find ourselves in right now. Please, please help me, help my family and in turn help provide safety for yourselves and your families in helping us.”
