Racial tension in Notting Hill, West London

Mar. 02 Jamaican murdered in race riot area of London. : A 32-year old West Indian, Kelso Benjamin Cochrane, was walking home to Bevington Road, North Kensington, after attending hospital with a broken thumb early yesterday, when a group of youths challenged him on a street corner: Where are you going Jim Crow'. A fight developed and Cochrane was stabbed. Two black men took him to hospital, but he died a few minutes after admission. The murder occurred in the Notting Hill area - scene of last year's racial disturbances. Photo shows four white boys lounge in a doorway. A black woman passes. They grin - she looks straight ahead. This was the spot where a black man was killed the night before
