An Uber Eats driver trying to protect his moped from being stolen was beaten and kicked to death by a gang, the Old Bailey has heard.
Iderval Da Silva, 46, rushed over to his vehicle when he saw a 16-year-old boy attempting to steal it outside the Primo cafe in Battersea on 25 May this year, jurors were told.
After Mr Da Silva pushed the teenager away, the boy allegedly fought back with Jasire Frazer, 18, Jaden Richards, 19, and three others who cannot be named.
Brazilian-born Mr Da Silva, who served in his countrys army and taught martial arts, suffered catastrophic brain injuries after allegedly being punched and kicked to the ground.
He was treated by neurosurgeons at Kings College Hospital, Camberwell, but was pronounced dead three days later.
Prosecutor Tony Badenoch QC said: It was momentary explosion of short-lived violence that killed Mr Da Silva.
It is clear from all of their actions, before, at the time, and after, that Mr Da Silva was really of no concern to them other than for their own purposes.
Mr Da Silva was protecting his scooter in this Battersea area. He was eating with a group of friends.

Mr Da Silva was protecting his scooter in this Battersea area. He was eating with a group of friends none of whom came to help their "friend."

No. It was a gang of evil thugs.
QC sounds like their defense lawyer.

and taught martial arts, suffered catastrophic brain injuries after allegedly being punched and kicked to the ground. The effectiveness of Martial Arts. It's not like in the movies.

“who served in his countrys army and taught martial arts” How sad that what he taught was useless in this instance.

That he was beat says nothing about martial arts. Nothing.
Whatever your agenda is don’t load it on the back of a dead man.

If you were surrounded by 10 thugs, used only 6 rounds in your defense but still died, I wouldn’t be questioning the effectiveness of revolvers.
