Lambeth council licensing team makes decision after incident at Asake gig left two dead in December

The O2 Academy Brixton has had its licence suspended for three months after a fatal crowd crush at the venue left two people dead and one in critical condition.

Rebecca Ikumelo, 33, and the security guard Gaby Hutchinson, 23, died in hospital after the incident during a gig by the Afrobeats singer Asake on 15 December, during which a number of people appeared to enter without tickets.
