A MURDERED schoolboy died trying to get his BlackBerry back from a gang of muggers, police said last night.
Teenager Temidayo Ogunneye was robbed of his pricey smartphone by three yobs.
Cops now believe he returned 80 minutes later with three pals determined to retrieve the gadget.
A clash broke out between the two groups - some of whom were in school uniform - and Temidayo, 15, was stabbed in the stomach.
After the fight, witnessed by up to ten teenagers, his killer ran off shouting, 'I done him'.
Nigerian-born Temidayo died in hospital six hours after the fight on the Calais Gate estate in Camberwell, South London, on Wednesday afternoon.
Det Chief Insp John McFarlane, leading the inquiry, said: "He was robbed by three youths and returned with mates in an attempt to regain the phone. It was during an altercation he received the wounds."
A resident of the estate reported seeing three or four girls gathered round Temidayo as he lay injured in the street.
BlackBerrys are popular with teenagers because of a free inter-phone message service.
Three youths were being quizzed yesterday.
