just to be clear, this is a story about someone so desperate for a better life he stowed away on a plane from Kenya (4250 miles) & died so brutally that a neighbor said “there was blood all over the walls of the garden”. + witness trauma. but yes, do tell us if he went to Balliol

I attended the Open University. Lucky it wasn’t me. They might have had to lead on the poor sod who died.
