SPECIAL REPORT by KIM JANSSEN and RICHARD OSLEY
 
Victim 'caught in feud crossfire'

A GANG of 30 youths from Tottenham are the prime suspects in the shocking murder of 18-year-old Swiss Cottage student Mahir Osman on Saturday night.
Mahir, of Adelaide Road, was stabbed repeatedly in the brutal attack in the heart of busy Camden Town. He died in the early hours of Sunday at the Royal Free Hospital. Police arrested 25 youths on a number 253 bus in Camden Road minutes after the attack but between five and seven escaped by smashing a window on the top deck and jumping out.
A second bus was commandeered to take the suspects to police stations across north London, but they were all released on police bail on Monday morning.
Friends of Mahir, whose father fled his war-torn homeland of Somalia to live in Camden 14 years ago, say he was the innocent victim of a long-running feud between Somalis living in Camden and Haringey.They all stress he was a well-behaved boy “caught in the crossfire” of a feud he had nothing to with.
