An 18-year-old West Ham was unlawfully killed on his way home from a match, an inquest has ruled.
Sami Sidhom, who was reading history and law at university, died after being stabbed near his home in Forest Gate, east London, in April 2018.
Despite a number of arrests and many police and family appeals, his killers have never been caught.
Assistant coroner Ian Wade said he was satisfied the student was set upon "criminally, wickedly and maliciously".
The teenager, who was described by friends as "smiley, skinny and humble", was attacked by up to four men as he walked home from watching a West Ham football match.
