Google axes video by gang linked to teen killing

GOOGLE has deleted a video glorifying guns and violence after the gang behind it was linked to the killing of a boy.

The internet giant took down the film on its YouTube service after being alerted to it by the Daily Mail following the shooting of schoolboy Corey Junior Davis.

A feud between the Woodgrange E7 gang and the rival Beckton E6 crew, based in east London, is believed to have led to

the 14-year-old’s murder next to a playground in Forest Gate on Monday.

The Woodgrange gang’s video began with an aerial shot of police on the street below, with the words: ‘Four officers arrived with minutes of the shooting’. A gunshot hole appears in the screen while men in masks rap ‘I’m shooting to kill’ and ‘We don’t give a toss about law’. It had been viewed 280,000 times in the last year. A YouTube spokesman said: ‘We’re committed to improving our work on this issue to make sure YouTube is not a place for those who seek to do harm.’

But Since 2015, YouTube has taken down only 38 per cent of videos reported to it by the Met Police. Corey’s life support machine was switched off on Tuesday.
