Fears of 'summer of bloodshed' in turf war after boy shot dead in park

Gangs from Harrow Road and Golborne Road, Ladbroke Grove — separated only by a bridge — are locked in an escalating conflict, according to residents who fear that victim Rene Graham could be followed by others.

Rene, 15, was shot at a family fun day at Emslie Horniman’s Pleasance park near Ladbroke Grove at about 7.20pm on Sunday evening, in what witnesses described as an “assassination” carried out by a killer who leapt from a bush to open fire.

Charismatic, sexy and funny...good things really do come in threes

In terms of watchability, a cast made up of Nicola Walker, Stephen Mangan and Erin Doherty is pretty hard to beat. The trio's relatable charisma, and the residual associations of their TV roles in The Split and The Crown (where Doherty played the young Princess Anne) add mightily to the enjoyment of Mike Bartlett's play, in which a loving but romantically stultified middle-aged couple decide to invite a younger woman into their bed and their lives.
