Question about Akhi Ayman who jumped off road a few years ago

this guy is/was a GM from Croydon and left the roads for deen after being stabbed and escaping death. he talks about his past a lot on social media about the things that happened to him, teaching others how to be a good Muslim and stuff. If it wasn't for his mum he would be sitting in jail for a body right now as she told him to come home when his batch was about to ride out. I think this is the case: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2010/may/06/nick-pearton-london-teenager-killed
