Woman In Coma Following Notting Hill Carnival Incident; Man In Court
During the court proceedings, it came to light that the victim had been in attendance at the Notting Hill Carnival on Sunday, accompanied by her three-year-old daughter and a group of relatives and friends. Regrettably, she fell victim to a violent incident, sustaining a stab wound to the groin in broad daylight.
Ms. Maximen experienced a sudden cardiac event and her current state is critical.
The patient is currently in a state of unconsciousness due to the loss of a significant amount of blood, approximately 20 units. Additionally, one of her lungs has collapsed, and there is a possibility that amputation of her leg may be necessary. These details were presented during the court proceedings.
Shakiel Thibou is also charged with possessing a knife in a public place and violent disorder.
He appeared alongside his two brothers, Sheldon Thibou, 24, and Shaeim Thibou, 21, who are both charged with violent disorder and assaulting an emergency worker, while Sheldon Thibou faces an additional charge of possessing a stun gun.
The three brothers, all clad in identical grey tracksuits, stood in the dock together during the hearing. They confirmed their respective identities by stating their names, dates of birth, and residential addresses.
Shakiel Thibou, residing on Masbro Road in Hammersmith, West London, and Sheldon Thibou, residing on Star Road in Hammersmith, did not provide any indication of their pleas. Meanwhile, Shaeim Thibou, residing on Charleville Road in Fulham, Southwest London, indicated a plea of not guilty.
The Honorable District Judge John Zani denied bail to all three defendants, remanding them into custody until their next joint hearing at the Old Bailey, scheduled for September 25.
