The mother of a talented drill rapper brutally stabbed to death in Deptford said she remains “plagued by grief and pain” in an emotional impact statement.

Crosslon Davis, 20, known as Bis, suffered at least nine wounds to his head, back and chest when he was set upon by four youths in a passage off Creekside on December 6, 2019.

Jedaiah Param, 21, and Elijah Morgan, 20, were jailed yesterday for at least 28 years, having been found guilty of murder.

Vivienne Davis gave a lengthy impact statement at the sentencing, paying tribute to her son as she attempted to express the trauma her family has suffered.

She said: “On December 6 our lives changed forever.

“At around 4am I was informed by two officers at my home that my son had passed away.

“I believe I have been in a state of shock ever since and continue to be frozen at that precise day and time.

“It is as though I am having an out of body experience, this can’t possibly be happening to me!

“Every morning that I wake up is as if it is ground hog day, and I just cannot fathom going any further.

“I do not want to see beyond that, a world and life without my baby.

“I am surrounded with darkness and all I see is pain, anger, hurt, frustration but no sight of happiness.

“Happy no longer exists for us.”

Crosslon was part of Harlem Spartans collective, one leading exponents of UK drill.

The group’s music videos have received millions of views on Youtube, with Crosslon’s solo efforts building to a similar level of success.

He had been shooting a video for his latest track the day before he was murdered, and had a meeting arranged with a music distribution company just days later who were interested in releasing it.

His mother revealed her last words to him were “break a leg” as she wished him luck on the shoot.

Crosslon had a place at university, starting in January 2020, and was planning to earn his driving licence so he could commute.

His mother continued: “Crosslon was easy to love, so polite and always respectful.

“He was popular amongst his friends, fun compassionate and loyal.

“He will be greatly missed by them all as they also continue to grieve their loss.

"He was intelligent and had the whole world in front of him, such a bright future cruelly cut short.

"Crosslon was vibrant and so alive, he had so much to live for and so much talent and promise.

"He had a beautiful, radiant and warm smile!

"No sentence imposed will ever reflect the heartache and pain inflicted upon our family and we will never come to terms with our loss but Crosslon will always be in our hearts.

“He will never be forgotten.”
