Top Boy is returning for one last series but what was the reason behind Sully killing Jamie in the season two finale?
Sully (played by Kane “Kano” Robinson) stunned Netflix subscribers when he showed up at Jamie’s (Micheal Ward) front door and shot him twice in the chest and once in the head.
Jamie’s brothers Aaron (Hope Ikpoku Jnr) and Stef (Araloyin Oshunremi) couldn’t believe their eyes as Sully walked away,
leaving the youngsters devastated, just as they thought their lives were taking a turn for the better.
Prior to pulling the trigger, Sully didn’t say a word, giving no explanation to Jamie as to why he wanted to see him dead.
But this explosive moment had been building up, not only throughout the latest episodes but in prior seasons as well.
Why did Sully kill Jamie in Top Boy? There are many reasons why Sully could have killed Jamie but the biggest one is the fact that he simply didn’t trust him.
Back in season one which aired on Channel 4, Dris (Shone Romulus) who Sully ended up shooting 20 times on a rooftop, had betrayed him and Dushane (Ashley Walters).
He had given information to the London Fields gang which Jamie was then a part of who, along with Jermaine (Bashy)
and Modie (Dave), tried to kill Sully, fatally shooting two of his fellow gang members and seriously injuring him as well.
So Sully was far from best pleased when Dushane told him in the latest season that he planned to keep Jamie around
after proving his loyalty by killing his best friend Kit (Kadeem Ramsey) who was responsible for Ats’s (Keiyon Cook) death.
