Pals of tragic Loughborough Junction graffiti trio have sprayed tribute to the ‘Three Musketeers’ on side of London Tube train
Jack Gilbert, Alberto Fresneda Carrasco and Harrison Scott-Hood were found dead on train tracks on Monday
PALS of the three graffiti artists killed by a train have painted a huge tribute mural to the trio - on the side of a London Underground tube.
Commuters boarded the carriages sprayed with a ten foot graffiti tribute to the 'Three Musketeers' this morning.
The colourful mural was spotted on a Victoria line train that runs from Brixton to Walthamstow Central.
Jack Gilbert, 23, Alberto Fresneda Carrasco, 19, and Harrison Scott-Hood, also 23, were found dead on train tracks near Loughborough Junction in south London on Monday.
The trio were last spotted on Sunday evening in Brixton and are believed to have walked up the tracks with spray paint to graffiti along the line.
The Victoria line tube graffiti tribute today featured a panel with the three men's graffiti tags: 'Lover', 'K-Bag' and 'Trip'.
Steve Burton, Director of Enforcement and On-Street Operations at Transport for London said, “Our thoughts remain with the friends and families of the three men who tragically lost their lives on Monday.
“Graffitiing public transport is an offence we take very seriously. As well as being dangerous to those who do it, it results in trains being taken out of service and costs thousands of pounds to remove."
Police say they have identified the out-of-service passenger train that hit them at around 1am.
Detectives were seen taking photos of graffiti and paint cans discovered when the bodies were found at around 7.30am on the tracks near Loughborough Junction station in Brixton, South London.
Speaking at the scene, Supt Allingham confirmed the men had suffered injuries "consistent with having been hit by a train" and were believed to have been fatally injured before their bodies were discovered.
Brian Cooke, a former Transport for London board member, branded the three men "criminals”.
Writing about the tragedy, he tweeted: "Why do @BBCNews @tomedwards keep referring to the guys killed at #LoughboroughJunction as graffiti 'artists'.
"They are no such thing they are common scum and criminals who cost the railway millions and keep fares high".
The tweet has since seen a huge backlash against the Tory Party supporter, with many lambasting him for the disrespectful social media message.
