A stuntman’s girlfriend has revealed her heartbreak after he was knifed to death while filming a music video.
Devastated Seleka Gathercole said “my heart’s been torn in two” after her partner Shane Jerome, 23, was attacked during a music video shoot.
Shane had been on Brixton High Street shooting the rap video with Lamborghini sports cars, people in balaclavas and a quad bike before a confrontation between two groups broke out.
The victim was rushed towards an ambulance clutching his chest following the savage attack, horrified witnesses said.
Police said Shane was found suffering from a stab wound but a post-mortem examination will be conducted in due course.

“I will never ever ever get over the loss of you – you mean more to me than I could ever explain.”
The bloke’s devastated pals also paid tribute to “one of the best guys they knew”.
