It was his friends who were by his side at the time of his injury, while he was lying in the garden of the area where the incident took place. He was killed in Church Lane, Leytonstone at 11pm in front of friends.
A day after the murder, the victim's cousin, Violet Uka commented to The Standard stating:
"Lumturiu lived in London for 13 years and was a hard worker. He stepped into the middle of the fight to separate his friend and was killed. He was a brave and good man to intervene and save his friend. The hand of the murderer has left us all miserable. The river took us at the most beautiful age. There are no words to console his family."
