Timeline

2016

A 90-minute dramatisation of the events leading to his death and the Taylor family's search for justice premiered on the BBC in November 2016 entitled Damilola, Our Loved Boy.

2011

Writer Stephen Kelman was nominated for the 2011 Man Booker Prize for his debut novel Pigeon English, inspired in part by the Taylor incident.

2010

Different forensic scientists have presented different events that could have given Taylor his fatal wounds. The theory accepted by the Metropolitan Police is that he was attacked and fell on a broken bottle, later bleeding to death. He died 10 days before his 11th birthday.

Both brothers were set to be paroled in 2010 after serving half of their sentence. Ricky was released on 8 September 2010, subject to probation supervision, and subject to recall to custody if he breached the conditions or if his behaviour indicated that it was no longer safe to allow him to remain in the community. Ricky was reported in 2010 to have told his mother he was deeply sorry for killing Damilola. Danny was released in 2011. Ricky was recalled on 13 March 2011 because he was seen in Peckham, and for associating with gang members, both contrary to his parole conditions. He was released again on 25 January 2012. He was again recalled to prison sixteen days later, in February 2012, after again associating with gang members in Peckham, in breach of the terms of his release. Taylor's father called for a public inquiry into the handling of the case. Ricky Preddie was released again in July 2012, but was jailed again in December 2013 for five months following a high-speed chase on a stolen motorbike. In November 2017, he was jailed again for six weeks for driving offences, and for an additional four weeks for failing to appear at his court hearing. In February 2020 he was jailed for four years for driving into a female police officer.

2008

Damilola Taylor was born in Lagos, Nigeria to Richard and Gloria Taylor (died 8 April 2008). He attended Wisdom Montessori School in Ikosi, Ketu, Lagos before he travelled to the United Kingdom in August 2000 with his family to allow his sister Gbemi to seek treatment for epilepsy.

2006

On 23 January 2006, Jihad (now 21 years old) and the two brothers (aged 17 and 18) not named for legal reasons, appeared at the Old Bailey to face charges of his manslaughter and assault before the start of their imminent trial.

The trial commenced on 24 January 2006. In the trial Alastair Wilson, associate clinical director at the Royal London Hospital and one of Britain's top trauma experts, testified that he thought that Taylor had died after falling on a shard of glass.

On 9 August 2006, Ricky Gavin Preddie (born 1987, Lambeth, London) and Danny Charles Preddie (born 1988, Lambeth), after a 33-day retrial, were convicted of the manslaughter of Damilola Taylor.

On 9 October 2006, an Old Bailey judge sentenced the Preddie brothers to eight years in youth custody for manslaughter.

2005

Despite the setback, police vowed to keep the investigation open. New DNA techniques identified Damilola's blood on the trainers of another boy (not one of the first four suspects) Daniel Preddie and on the sweatshirt cuff of his brother Richard Preddie. This led to a re-examination of the evidence obtained at the time of Taylor's death. In 2005, fresh arrests were made, this time on charges of manslaughter. The arrested were Hassan Jihad 19, and the two Preddie brothers aged 16 and 17 who could not be named at the time due to their age.

2002

In 2002, four youths, including two 16-year-old brothers, went on trial at the Old Bailey for the murder of Damilola. The trial led to all four suspects being acquitted. Two were acquitted on the direction of the judge after he ruled that the prosecution's key witness, a 14-year-old girl, was unreliable; the jury found the other two not guilty. As well as questioning the reliability of the young witness, the defence presented evidence suggesting that Taylor's wounds were consistent with his falling on a broken bottle and that he had not been the victim of an attack.

2000

On 27 November 2000, ten-year-old schoolboy Damilola Taylor was killed in England, in what became one of the country's most high-profile killings. Several young boys were cleared of murder charges after a lengthy trial, and later two brothers were convicted of manslaughter.

On 27 November 2000, Taylor set off from Peckham Library at 4:51 pm to make his way home. He was captured on CCTV as he walked away. On approaching the North Peckham Estate he received a gash to his left thigh, severing an artery. Staggering to a stairwell, he collapsed and bled to near death in the space of approximately 30 minutes. He was still alive in an ambulance on his way to hospital.

Children's author Beverley Naidoo dedicated her award-winning book "The Other Side of Truth" (2000), about two Nigerian child refugees aged 10 and 12, to Damilola Taylor. She recalled how when she went to accept the Smarties Silver Award for the book, Naidoo heard the shocking news of Damilola Taylor's death on his way home from Peckham Library, which was a relevant area in the novel. As a result, she organised an ongoing donation of 10p to the Refugee Council from every book sold.

1999

Actor John Boyega and his sister Grace were some of the last people to see Damilola alive. The three were friends and the Boyegas helped watch Taylor. John and Grace Boyega were very close to Damilola, who had arrived from Nigeria in 1999.
