Ellis Heather has now been jailed for life with a minimum of 28 years after he was convicted of murder. The Old Bailey heard Heather, 26, was filming a music video with live reptiles including big snakes and a Komodo dragon for his drill song. Stephen, known as Zero Ls, had stumbled into the shoot organised by Heather and fellow drill rapper Yonas Girma. He then wound up the crew by hitting a tree and appearing to drive at them before he was stabbed. As he drove away, Stephen had blood dripping down his neck, the jury was told. Afterwards, Heather partied with friends and laughed as they listened to music by the victim’s brother, who has enjoyed success in the UK singles and R&B charts.

Days after Stephen’s death, a woman who had been on the video shoot called 999 to report she had heard Heather was responsible.

Heather became ill and told the woman to take the wheel before he was sick out of the window, she said. Asked why he was feeling ill, he told the woman “this is my first M” – said to be slang for murder. Girma denied and was found not guilty of being involved in the horror. Police trawled through more than 200 hours of CCTV footage and seized more than 1,000 exhibits, 50 phones, almost 40 computer items and five vehicles. Paying tribute at the time, Stephen’s brother – the rapper Jon Morrisson – posted on Instagram: “Rest in peace my brother my friend my twin Stevo I’m gonna miss you bro. “No words can explain this pain. I’m thankful for everything you done for me and our family. “We ain’t no angels but you didn’t deserve to go out like that and I’m thankful I got to bump into you on Father’s Day and cuddle you and tell you I love you & say goodbye. “RiptheZeroLboss.” Stephen, the younger brother of Morrisson, was jailed in 2012 following a burglary at a cannabis factory in Essex in which a live-in gardener died after falling from a roof. He was the subject of a major manhunt and described as “dangerous” by police at the time. Reality star Lauren, 39, had spent time with Stephen at Christmas while she was dating Joey. The pair had a whirlwind 15-month relationship but broke up following a furious row at HMP Highpoint South. She later moved on with Charles Drury, who she split from again earlier this year. The couple share two children, daughter Lorena who tragically passed away shortly after she was born and four-year-old Larose.
