A GUN murder at a teenager’s funeral could have been copied from Channel 4 gangster drama Top Boy.
Ronnie Khan, 21, was shot dead at close range in front of 200 mourners on Thursday afternoon. Just 24 hours earlier, a scene on Top Boy featured a mob staking out a memorial to a murdered rival.
Police sources said the real killing was related to violence between two gangs in Brixton and Peckham, South London.
Top Boy, screened on four nights this week, portrayed gang culture on a fictional East London estate.
And young Twitter users went online to claim there was a direct link between the two. One wrote: “Look at what top boy has done 1 person dead 1 seriously wounded in a funeral, its total madness.” Another said: “Why r people imitating #topboy someone just died at a funeral.”
