Dean Pascal-Modeste, 21, known as Floss, was an innocent victim of the dispute between the B Side gang and the rival Splash gang in Lewisham, south-east London, the Old Bailey was told. He was stabbed 14 times in the street in broad daylight, because of who he was with, jurors heard. Before the attack, both sides had taunted each other in YouTube rap videos, some featuring Westwood. B Side lyrics included the words “dip [stab] Splash till the Splash is done” and described their rivals as “jokers” and “dickheads”. Corey Donaldson, 18, and Alex Scott, 18, were found guilty of murder on Friday but Uzoeme Emeofa, 19, was acquitted.
