Tai was a kind, gentle, creative teenager studying music at Croydon College.

He was close to his mum, Stacey, and had strong relationships with friends and family.

Tai met Kamila Ahmad at college – she was older, intense, and already had a violent history.

Ahmad had 11 previous convictions for 26 offences, including assault, battery, robbery, and grievous bodily harm against a previous partner.

Their relationship quickly became toxic: she was controlling, possessive, and emotionally volatile.

Tai didn’t report the abuse. He hinted to friends that she was "too much" but seemed more focused on managing the situation than escaping it.

His mum raised concerns, but without a formal complaint, there was no safeguarding.

On 3 March 2021, Ahmad came to Tai’s flat and stabbed him four times, one wound severing his femoral artery.

She didn’t call for help. Instead, she filmed Tai as he lay dying and left.

His body was found over 16 hours later after his mum raised the alarm.

A video found on Ahmad’s phone showed Tai dying while she did nothing to help.

She was arrested and charged within days, but her trial was delayed due to COVID and court backlogs.

In court, she claimed she didn’t intend to kill him, but the jury found her guilty of murder.

The judge called her violent, controlling, and utterly without remorse.

Tai’s death has shone a light on how male victims of domestic abuse are often ignored or disbelieved.

His case also raised questions about why Ahmad, with such a violent history, wasn’t more closely monitored.

Campaigners are calling for more training across police, colleges and services to help recognise abuse – no matter who the victim is.
