Tearful phone call to mum of DJ found dying on train

A man who died after a fight on a train, sparking a murder investigation, phoned his mum the night before in tears.

Warsame Warsame, known as Sammy, was found unconscious on a train at Raynes Park station on Saturday, on the 1.16pm Waterloo to Chessington service. He died two days later in St George’s Hospital after falling into a coma. Police are investigating whether he died of injuries sustained in the fight – which took place about 45 minutes earlier on a different train between Raynes Park and Wimbledon – or if it was caused by a pre-existing medical condition. Mr Warsame, 24, needed regular dialysis ever since he was bottled repeatedly inside a Kingston nightclub in 2007.

Mr Warsame, a music-loving rapper who used the name DJ Instant, was living at Surbiton YMCA at the time of his death. Police were also examining CCTV yesterday. Call British Transport Police on 0800 405040 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Former Raynes Park High School pupil Warsame Warsame had shown his support on Facebook for a teenager attacked randomly by a soldier and left with permanent brain damage.

One of Mr Warsame’s four brothers Mohammed Warsame, then 19, was jailed in July 2011 for three years for his role in a bungled town centre security van robbery outside RBS Kingston, along with Stevey Mackay, 19.

His cousin, who asked not to be named, said Warsame had not had any brushes with the law. He said Muslim tradition demanded a quick burial, but the police investigation had caused further anguish for the family by delaying.
