""I sat there as a grieving mother praying for some sign of humility from them, praying for some sign of humanity from them, but instead they deepened our suffering." Valbona Shekaj's son Klevi Shekaj, 23, was murdered along with 15-year-old Leo Reid while they were at a music video shoot in Archway, north London, in 2023. On Friday, Lorik Lupqi, 22; Jason Furtado, 28; Abel Chunda, 29; Xavier Poponne, 22; and Eden Clark, 31, will be sentenced at the Old Bailey"
"Facing her son's killers in court, Ms Locci said: "Just for the fact that another human being can treat another human so poorly, careless, without any regard, only means that you must not be bothered by your conscience. "My past, present and future has been crashed and taken, not only from me but my family, his siblings and all of our loved ones and friends, and for what?"
Klevi Shekaj, 23, and 15-year-old Leo Reid were shot dead while at a music video shoot in Archway, north London, in 2023. Five men—Lorik Lupqi, 22; Jason Furtado, 28; Abel Chunda, 29; Xavier Poponne, 22; and Eden Clark, 31—were found guilty of double murder and attempted murder and will be sentenced at the Old Bailey. Leo's mother described him as beautiful, charming and intelligent and said no sentence could match the brutality he suffered. Valbona Shekaj called her son extraordinary and said the defendants' lack of visible remorse deepened the family's suffering and sense of loss.
