Pastor's Son Knifed to Death
London (SVM News), November 16, 2006: Teenage boy of a pastor and a brillianat footballer knifed to death by a gang of 30 youths in the early evening on Saturday 4th of November in Lavender Avenue, Mitcham in London. Two of the victim's friends were also stabbed but survived.
Eugine Attram is 16 year old son of Pastor Issac Attram, 45, of Woolwich Church for the Greenwich Council and Mrs. Maureen Attram, 42, a finance officer at London Metropolitan University.
Eugine was studying AS levels in art, English, sports science and business at Ernest Bevin College in Tooting. He played for the Wandle Wanderers football team and was learning how to teach other children to play table tennis.
He was on his way to a fireworks display with friends in Mitcham when he was murdered in a "ferocious" and random assault.
Police say there is nothing to suggest Eugene was part of a gang and there is no known motive for the attack.
Detective Inspector Nick Mervin said up to 30 youths may have been involved. "We believe there are a significant number of people that were present on the night who have still not come forward, either through fear of what they have seen or fear of other people," he said.
Twelve youths have been arrested in connection with the attack and released on police bail.
"As a family we have been very, very hurt. I want the boys who murdered my son to look at themselves", his father Pastor Issac Attram said. "The loss of any life is painful, but the loss of a 16-year-old boy is extremely painful. We appeal to anybody who has heard anything, however insignificant, to contact the police because that information could be very important to solving Eugene's murder." He added.

"Nothing was too much for Eugene. He was a warm, warm person — always full of jokes", his mother Maureen told. She made a tearful public appeal to help find her 16-year-old son's killers.
"I feel totally lost. I don't know what to think or do. It hurts so much." His sister Amanda, 21, said he was "courageous and very determined" and a "fit, talented and intelligent young man".
