Pensioner Stabbing: Killer Caged For Life


A murderer who stabbed a pensioner to death in his West London home has been jailed for life – with a thirty-three minimum.

Ealing man Mohammed Khaleel, 38, (pictured) was convicted at the Old Bailey of murdering 67 year-old Michael Zubrot in Buckingham Avenue, Perivale.

The victim, a retired classical music retailer, was found on September 9, 2010 with stab wounds to his neck.

Relatives concerned for Mr. Zubrot’s wellbeing after not hearing from him for several days alerted police, who discovered the body.

The victim had not been seen or heard from since August 30 and he had been dead for many days.

There were no signs of a forced entry at the address.

CCTV captured in Ealing town centre showed Khaleel with Mr. Zubrot on August 30 and they both boarded a 297 bus to Perivale.

When quizzed by police Khaleel admitted he and Mr. Zubrot were “associates” and the deceased had previously offered him DVD’s for sale, which he refused to buy.

Khaleel was arrested the day after Mr. Zubrot’s body was found and charged with murder on September 12.
