Snapchat Party Turns Deadly | Leicester News

A Snapchat party spiraled into chaos when 20-year-old Trixta Vangu wielded a knife, extorted money and designer clothes, and forced victims to dance while being filmed. When some couldn’t pay, he lured them to Leicester, where he escalated violence with a BB gun, a belt, and punches—all captured and shared online. Police intervened after a report, arresting Vangu and 19-year-old accomplice Oluwatobiloba Akinrinola (two others later cleared). Both were convicted of robbery, blackmail, and assault. Vangu got 18 years, Akinrinola seven. Authorities credited the viral footage as key to securing convictions and bringing justice to victims.
