An anti-gang campaigner who abandoned London to escape urban violence was stabbed to death in a suspected gang brawl in Cambridge. Father-of-three Kyjah Brown, 26, volunteered to help youngsters in his new hometown escape knife crime, but was killed after being caught up in the fight on Saturday. Mr Brown, who left Brixton, South London, for a more 'peaceful life' was enjoying a night out with two friends in Cambridge when he was attacked and left to die by the side of the road. The DJ and rapper’s two friends were rushed to hospital with serious injuries and have since been helping police with their inquiries. Friends hailed him as an 'inspiration' to youngsters seeking to avoid gang violence. Della Spencer, Cambridgeshire County Council’s black community support, said Mr Brown was known for his work helping youngsters to turn their backs on crime through music and sport. She said: 'I know he moved from London to escape knife crime and the violence and moved to Cambridge for a peaceful life.
