Police investigating the murder of a black teenager in Kent said yesterday they were treating the attack as racially motivated. Christopher Alaneme, 19, described as a "popular young man with lots of friends", was stabbed to death in an apparently unprovoked attack as he walked along Sheerness High Street just before midnight on Friday.
SNIP
Mr Alaneme, whose family is of Nigerian origin, was from London but had been living in Sheerness. His murder occurred on the eve of the 13th anniversary of the racist killing of Stephen Lawrence in Eltham, south-east London.

I hope the police find the killers and hopefully it doesn't end up like the Damilola Taylor case

face v Baker: No more 'sweet love'

It's strange when two of your favourite artists sue each other. Apparently Babyface is suing Anita Baker (story here)
The man behind some of the biggest love songs of the late 80s and 90s, recently divorced his wife (which explains why his current CD 'Grown and Sexy' has a song called 'goin outta business')
but i digress
I really hope 'face and anita sort this out soon, we need them doing what they do best, providing great music.
