Four teen-agers would be charged on 26 Jun 2001 with murdering Damilola, a crime that provoked nationwide soul-searching about the safety of Britain's inner cities. Damilola Taylor bled to death from stab wounds in the stairwell of a run-down housing project near his south London home as he tried to reach help. The youths charged a 14-year-old, two 15-year-olds and a 16-year-old were taken into custody. All four boys, who have not been identified, had previously been interviewed by police and had criminal antecedents. No possible motive for the attack has been reported. One of the youths is of African origin, one is of mixed race and two are of Mediterranean origin. Damilola had come to Britain from Nigeria three months earlier with his family so his sister could seek treatment for severe epilepsy. He had complained about being teased at school for his African accent. While many Britons initially said he was a victim of bullying, others blamed the dilapidated living conditions that many immigrants endure in Britain's inner cities. Damilola lived with his family in a crime-ridden project. Damilola was stabbed in his left leg either by a shard of glass or a knife as he walked home. The schoolboy left a 100-meter-long trail of blood before collapsing in the concrete stairwell, five minutes from his front door. Witnesses reported seeing several youths running from the scene. After Damilola's death attracted nationwide publicity, police and politicians canvassed his neighborhood, trying to convince often reluctant residents to cooperate with detectives. The four suspects had been identified as early as December 2000, but police needed to gather more evidence before bringing charges. They would be brought to trial in February 2002 and acquitted for lack of sufficient evidence, the last two, brothers both 16 by then, on 25 April 2002.
