On Saturday afternoon, a moving car fired into a crowd of hundreds of people who had previously attended a memorial service at Euston railway station.

Funeral service for woman and her 20-year-old daughter
The background is still unclear. The service commemorated a 50-year-old woman and her 20-year-old daughter who died within weeks in November 2022. The young woman had been diagnosed with leukemia and her mother died of a rare blood clot after traveling to London from Colombia.
London media speculated that the crime could be linked to a drug gang feud. Accordingly, the attack targeted a man attending the service. The mother’s deceased ex-husband is said to have been a member of a drug cartel.
