The grieving partner of a rapper stabbed to death at Notting Hill Carnival has shared a picture of her baby bump.
Takayo Nembhard, who was known by the name TKorStretch, was knifed in front of hundreds of carnival revellers on Bank holiday Monday.
Oshian Edwards is due to give birth to 21-year-old Takayo's son in November.
She wrote on Instagram: “Takayo my sweet beautiful boy. All I can ask is why over and over again. You were the most kind-hearted, loving, funny and caring person.
“I’m sat here with sore eyes and a heavy heart as I’ve cried consistently for the last 12 hours while carrying your unborn son.

“I will remind him daily about how great you were as a son, brother, boyfriend and friend too!"
"The love I have for you will never stop and I will honour your name everyday.
“I will look after your sisters to the best of my ability. They loved you so much. We all did.
“I held your hand yesterday for the last time as you lay there lifeless and baby T kicked me straight away and it broke me.
“It’s just not fair. We live in such a cruel world. I’m so angry yet keep being told I have to stay strong for the baby.
“The support you had at the hospital yesterday from family and friends was so lovely. I only wish you knew how loved you really were.
“I love you wholeheartedly and I’m so glad I get to share something so special with you and I know I’ll see you in him everyday.”
Ambulance services were called to attend to the patient in Ladbroke Grove, west London, before he was rushed to hospital and later pronounced dead.
Takayo had recently released song 'Flamenco Dance', which amassed more than half a million views on YouTube.
He also had nearly 11,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.
Manager Chris Patrick took to social media using the musician's Instagram account.
He wrote: "2 years ago a young 19 year old man came from Bristol to meet me at my studio with his dad, his name was Takayo Nembhard AKA TKorStretch.
“That meeting took us on a journey…we recorded some great music together. His talent was endless and I can tell you guy he was close to greatness!
"So it's with a heavy heart that I bring the news that Takayo (TKorStretch) passed away last night.
"He came from Bristol to simply have a good time at the London carnival and this is the end result!
"My deepest condolences to TK's mother and father, his brother and two sisters, girlfriend and child that will never meet his father!
"TK was a good kid, a good guy and what has happened breaks my heart... Rest in peace my friend. Xxxx"
The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan tweeted that he was "sickened" by the fatal stabbing and called for anyone with information to come forward to police.
"I am sickened by this awful attack," Mr Khan tweeted.
"Violence has no place on our streets and we are doing everything in our power to root it out.
"I urge anyone with information to contact the police on 101 or anonymously by @CrimeStoppersUK. There is no honour in staying silent."
The Met Police imposed a section 60 order within the Carnival area and its borders in West London after the event turned chaotic.
It started at 9.24pm last night and is in place until 1am on Tuesday.
A section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 gives a police officer the power to stop and search a person without suspicion.
The Metropolitan Police said that by 7am on Monday there had been 76 arrests for "a variety of different offences".
Dr Alison Heydari, Commander of Local Policing, said: “Regrettably, on Monday evening we saw a number of violent incidents and a 21-year-old man has lost his life.
“Our thoughts are with his family as they come to terms with their terrible loss.
“A murder investigation is under way, led by homicide detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command.
“They will pursue every possible line of enquiry to identify those responsible and bring them to justice."
A police horse also died while on duty on Sunday evening and a woman gave birth at the carnival.
