The latest victim of London’s violent crime epidimic is the third son in his family to be murdered, it has been revealed.
David Bello-Monerville, 38, was one of three men to be stabbed in Barnet on Tuesday night. He later died in hospital.
Six years ago his brother Joseph Burke-Monerville, 19, was shot in the head in a drive-by shooting and in 1994 his brother Trevor Monerville was knifed to death in Hackney at the age of 26.
Their heartbroken mother Linda Burke-Monerville rushed to the scene in north London on Tuesday screaming: ‘Not another son!’, neighbours told the Evening Standard.

The 38-year-old died after two groups clashed, fighting each other with blades, chains and broom handles, near his family home in Barnet.
His mother was seen sobbing desperately at the scene, where investigators scoured the streets for evidence.
No arrests have yet been made and the other two victims, aged 25 and 34, are still recovering in hospital.
David was in the car with his twin brothers Joseph and Jonathan when they were fired at by a gunman three times.
He and his brother Jonathan survived, but Joseph was shot in the head in a suspected case of mistaken identity.
Their brother Trevor died on the streets of Hackney when he was attacked by five men in 1994.
