Two gang members who gunned down an innocent teenager after mistaking him for a rival were jailed for a total of at least 60 years today (Thurs).

Student Nana Darko-Frempong, 18, was blasted in the stomach and face just for being 'in the wrong place at the wrong time'.

His killers were members of the notorious Roadside Gs street gang, based in Camberwell, south London.

They assumed he was a member of the rival TN1 - or Trust No One - clan because he lived on an estate in that gang's Tulse Hill heartland.
