Young lad involved in lethal stabbing

Archie Lincoln, a local lad in the Hertfordshire area, has unfortunately passed away. The boy had been released from hospital on Thursday evening at approximately 5:30pm after a long and hard battle with liver failure. He had a liver transplant and had to further battle with side effects and symptoms of the procedure. After he was released, he travelled back home to rest with his mother. Despite only being out of hospital for a matter of hours, Archie snuck out of his house without his mother knowing at roughly 9:45pm. He intended to go out and meet his friends despite knowing the COVID-19 regulations. However, things took a turn when his so called “mates” were discovered to be a group of young men who were upwards of 12 years older than him and in their mid to late 20’s. Archie was none the wiser, though, as he had only been interacting with them through Snapchat. The men wanted him to be a drug mule for their local gang but Archie denied the proposition which would prove to be fatal. Archie got caught up in the world of gangs and drugs and was caught in crossfire. He was stabbed 18 times, being punctured in the neck, face and chest. Whilst he put up a respectable fight, the wounds were too deadly. He died in agony in the hospital next to his mother. He passed away at 10:27 pm on Thursday evening. His mother told us “he was my g you get me? He was calm and I liked him cos he was part of the fam. Rest up my brudda!” These touching words resulted in huge amounts of sympathy for the Lincoln family. May he rest in peace.
