Leicester: Antoin Akpom Died From Stab Wound

A 20-year-old Leicester man killed in a street attack died from a single stab wound, an inquest has heard.

Antoin Akpom, 20, was assaulted in Kent Street, Leicester, at about 5.30pm last Thursday. He died in hospital later that evening.

An inquest into his death has opened at Leicester Town Hall.

Coroner Catherine Mason told Mr Akpom's family that his body would be returned as soon as possible so they could hold a funeral.

Earlier in the day, Abdul Hakim, 19, of Wood Hill, made a brief appearance in the Leicester Magistrates' Court charged with Mr Akpom's murder.

Four members of the Taufiq family died in the fire

Detectives are examining possible links between Mr Akpom's killing and a fatal arson attack in the city in which a mother and her three children were killed.

Shehnila Taufiq, who was in her 40s, her 19-year-old daughter Zainab and sons Bilal, 17, and Jamal, 15, died in the blaze in Wood Hill in the early hours of Friday.

There is no evidence so far to suggest the two incidents are related and those killed in the fire were not known to Mr Akpom, according to police.

Hakim, wearing a blue sweater and white T-shirt, made a five-minute appearance in court.

There was no application for bail and he was remanded in custody to appear at Leicester Crown Court via videolink on October 2.
