After plunging his knife into 18-year-old Hashim Mohamed on St Kilda Beach, a teenager took out his phone, opened the notes app, and wrote a set of violent rap lyrics glorifying the deadly stabbing. In the lyrics, the 15-year-old killer, who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the Supreme Court, describes the life that he lives, “all blacked out wit[h] a blade on m[y] hip”. “We’re cruising around, cruising around tryna get a man down.
He’s on the news now I’m the talk of the town,” wrote the teen, who cannot be named for legal reasons because he is underage. Hashim Mohamed died after being stabbed in St Kilda in December.

St Kilda foreshore was bustling with hundreds of members of the public including families and kids out enjoying a beautiful sunset. On Friday, Crown prosecutor Kristie Churchill told the court that, on the night of the attack, there were 13 males on the beach affiliated with the 9ers, including Mohamed. Another seven youths were connected with the OGK, also known as the Original Gangster Killers.
In the preceding month, Churchill said there had been escalating tensions, rivalry and retaliation attacks between the two groups. The two groups came together at 7.35pm near Luna Park.
“A physical altercation quickly erupted,” Churchill said. As knive.
