I stayed on York Way for a while in the late 80s - it was always a pretty mental area...

An absolute waste. How terrible for the family and friends. His life was just starting and it was cut so short.

I think she was the friend of Zoe who had been homeless. Zoe persuaded Mo & Charlie to let her live at their house for a while. I think she'd been a prostitute. She got close to Micky and then left the Square.

She was also involved with Alfie's little brother (I always thought it would be revealed some day that it was his son) whose name escapes me. She ended up in Ibiza (I think) after she and Zoe went out there to work in a bar or on a cruise ship, I think

That was Kelly. Zoe's best mate like Spurs and Twirls said.

[align=center]Gangland bosses want revenge for stabbed Ben Kinsella's death
A notorious London crime gang has put out a contract on the heads of 16-year-old Ben Kinsella's killers.

A notorious crime gang has put out a contract on the heads of Ben Kinsella's killers. Associates of the vicious Adams family have vowed to carry out revenge "hits" for the 16-year-old's bloody death.

An underworld source told the Sunday Mirror: "His killers had better be watching their backs as they messed with the wrong person. Whoever they are, there is a contract out on their heads. If they're caught and sent to jail they'll get attacked inside and, if no one goes down for it, they'll be in for it outside. This senseless crime was carried out in the heart of the Adams gang turf. Whoever is proved to have done this will never be able to rest. They will be got in the end."

The Adams family, from North London, is one of the country's most feared and notorious crime gangs. The vicious group was set up by "godfather" Terry Adams in the 1980s, along with brothers Tommy as financier and Patsy as enforcer, although it's not thought they are behind this threat. The crime empire is believed to have been worth £200million after years of extortion, drugs running and contract killings.

Ben - brother of former EastEnders star Brooke Kinsella - was stabbed 11 times in a brutal attack after a row in Shillibeers bar in Islington, North London, last Sunday. Three suspects accused of his murder appeared in court on Friday. The prosecutor refused to read out their addresses, saying "there may be reprisals".

The suspects - Juress Kika, 18, Michael Alleyne, 18, and Jade Braithwaite, 19 - were all remanded in custody by Highbury Magistrates' Court. The trio will be kept away from other prisoners.

Police were last night investigating whether Ben was threatened by a gang before he was murdered, and have spoken to Ben's workmates at an internet cafe. Ben had stopped a group of children stealing a bike and the eight gang members launched a five-month campaign of intimidation against him.

Friend James Law said: "Ever since we stopped them stealing that bike, they would come in every week or so and ask where it was. When we wouldn't tell them, they'd shout that we'd be sorry because they'd set their brothers on us." James, who worked with Ben for five months, added: "Ben was a great person to work with. It is awful to think that he might have died just because of a stupid feud over a bike."
