Why did Sully kill Jamie in Top Boy season 4?

PICKING up from where it left off, Top Boy returns to our screen with its fifth and final season.

Season four of the crime drama ended with a huge twist as viewers watched Sully kill Jamie after a heated discussion with Dushane.

Why did Sully kill Jamie in Top Boy season four?

After Dushane Hill (Ashley Walters) and Sully (Kano) discuss and settle their differences, Sully decides to go to Jamie's (Micheal Ward) house to deal with the issue once and for all.

Upon arriving he shoots Jamie twice in the chest and once in the head.

He then left the apartment while Aaron (Hope Ikpoku Jr) and Stefan Tovell (Araloyin Oshunremi) cradle their dead brother.

While there are many reasons why Sully could have killed Jamie, the biggest one is the fact that he simply didn’t trust him.

Jamie tried to kill Sully multiple times while their rival gangs were at war over Summerhouse during season three.

Jamie also had a difficult relationship with Dushane, who framed him for weapons possession.

Dushane helped Jamie get out of jail in return for his loyalty towards the gang.

Jamie proved this by killing his best friend Kit who was responsible for the death of Ats.

Dushane then saw Jamie as his retirement plan, but Sully had other plans.

He knows that Jamie couldn't be trusted after learning about his deal with Juan in Morocco.

Who else has Sully killed in Top Boy?

Sully has killed four characters in the last four seasons of Top Boy.

The first one is Shaun Campbell who he accidentally killed with a hammer in episode two of season one.

He then shot Lee Greene to death along with Dushane in episode three of season one.

In the next episode, he shoots Leon to death after he was defending Ra'Nell.

In season three, episode ten, Sully then took the life of Dris Wright, shooting him after he sold him out to his cousin Jermaine

And finally, in season four he murders Jamie Tovell. 

What happened in Top Boy season four opener?

The season four opener sees Jamie released from prison after Dushane shares evidence that proves the planted bag of drugs and weapons was not associated with him.

Upon his release, Jamie starts to work for Dushane to prove his loyalty.

When he wasn't organising drug deals, he was looking out for his younger brothers Aaron and Stefan Tovell.

Their parents died a few years prior, which left Jamie to act as their guardian, in hopes that neither of them would join the violent gang life.

However, by the end of episode two, their lives were once again changed forever due to the streets.
