'My absolute world', girlfriend pays tribute to bouncer killed in Asake concert crush

The girlfriend of the bouncer, Gaby Hutchinson, 23 died during the crush at the O2 Academy in Brixton. Phoebie Turley described Gaby as 'my absolute world' in a post she recently shared on Facebook.

Gaby Hutchinson died in hospital on Monday after working as a security officer at the O2 Academy in Brixton on Thursday.

People are said to have tried to force their way inside, which resulted in the death of Rebecca Ikumelo, 33, of Newham, on Saturday. A 21-year-old lady is still critically unwell in the hospital.

Gaby's girlfriend, Phoebie Turley, posted an emotional statement on social media. She said in a post titled "My absolute world", “I love you with all of my heart and soul”, she said, adding a bunch of heart emojis and a photo of them together.

The Metropolitan Police's Chief Superintendent Colin Wingrove stated: "It is heartbreaking to learn that a second individual has died as a result of the events of Thursday”. “I would like to give my sincere sympathies to his family during this unbearably terrible time”.

Nigerian musician Asake, who was playing at the O2 at the time, had warned supporters not to enter the arena unless they had a valid ticket. The performance was the third of three sold-out dates at the 4,921-seat arena, and it capped off a run of UK concerts.
