'Jeg kan ikke tro, at han ikke er her mere', siger storebror til knivdræbt 16-årig

Ibrahim Hussein, who is the older brother of the deceased 16-year-old from Roskilde, emphasizes the police's request to delete video of the stabbing.

Ibrahim Hussein is the older brother of the 16-year-old boy who lost his life after a stabbing on Friday. 2 minutes ago.

It was supposed to be a festive start to high school life for the many young people who gathered in Folkeparken in Roskilde on Friday.

But it ended in tragedy when a 16-year-old boy lost his life after a peer stabbed him several times in the chest.

The victim's older brother, Ibrahim Hussein, is deeply shaken and shocked by the situation.

- I still think he is alive, and that I will see him in an hour, tomorrow, or in a month. I can't believe he is no longer here, he says.

The suspected 16-year-old perpetrator has been remanded in custody and charged with manslaughter.

'There is blood everywhere'

---------------------

Ibrahim Hussein says that he and his now-deceased little brother were very close. So close that they shared clothes and storage drawers, among other things.

- We shared a room when I lived at home. We are the same height, so funnily enough, we fit the same clothes, we wear the same size. We played PlayStation on our desk, he says.

Ibrahim Hussein had just visited his parents at the family home when he was called by unknown numbers. He was driving, so he did not answer the calls, he says. But after several missed calls and the sound of emergency vehicles, he sensed something was wrong. He pulled the car over and answered a call from his little brother's friend.

- He was unable to speak. He just said there was blood everywhere, and I should come out (to Folkeparken, ed.) immediately.

When Ibrahim Hussein arrived at Folkeparken in Roskilde, he could see flashing lights from ambulances, and there was also a helicopter. He says he tried to reach his little brother, who was lying on the ground, but was held back by the police.

- I came running, and the police grabbed me. They said I couldn't go over there because it didn't look good.

Urges to delete video

-----------------------------

On Saturday, according to police, videos of the stabbing were circulating on social media. The police urged young people to stop sharing the video, as it is punishable.

And that request cannot be emphasized enough, according to Ibrahim Hussein, who hopes that those who filmed the incident feel guilty about it.

- I don't understand how anyone can take out their phone and film. I really hope that those who filmed feel guilty about this, and that they don't share it further. I hope they delete that video immediately, because it is outrageous, he says.
