Why Are Your Thoughts With A Drug Dealer's Family...

...and not with the innocent taxi driver who now has a big cleaning job to do?

Detective Sergeant Brett Hagen, who led Scotland Yard's investigation, said: 'Anselam Senaj was killed in a brutal cold-blooded assault which lasted seconds, but was so severe he died at the scene.

'Our team conducted a thorough and detailed investigation which led to the arrest of three of the suspects within two weeks of the attack.

'We'd like to thank our partner agencies who helped us ensure the arrest of the final suspect, and bring the case to trial to secure justice for Anselam.

'Our thoughts remain as always with Anselam's friends and family as they move forward with their life, safe in the knowledge his attackers are behind bars where they belong.'

What a modern, politically correct copper, eh? Maybe if Anselam had been behind bars where he belonged, being a drug dealer, the streets of London wouldn't be running with blood again and he'd have been safer too?

Judge Judy Khan KC said it was 'a callous and shocking attack' in a public street, which was 'pre-meditated and planned'.

Drug dealer Khan was found guilty of murder and having a blade and was jailed for life with a minimum term of 26 years for his leading role.

Miah was found guilty of murder and admitted having a blade and was detained for life a minimum term of 25 years. The sentence reflected Miah's separate conviction for a brutal rape a 15-year-old girl in a north London park in March 2023.

Ali and Naim, both from East Ham in east London, were cleared of murder but convicted of the lesser offence of manslaughter. Ali, who was responsible for taking the victim's phone, was jailed for 14 years and Naim was detained for 10 years and six months.

Just another day in the enriched capital....
