Who's Laughing Now?: 'Hyena' Murder Gang Caged

A laughing teenage gang who killed a young stranger in a ferocious knife and hammer attack – leaving their victim with ten stab wounds – have all been caged.

Moses Nteyoho, 22, (pic.top) was walking with a pal to a local youth project on October 30, last year when ambushed on Tavy Bridge, near Tilehurst Point flats, Abbey Wood, South East London.

Convicted of murder are: Ahmed Ghele, 17, (pic.2^nd top); Osman Amin, 17, (pic.3^rd top); Liban Ali, 16, (pic.bottom) who all received 14 years and 17 year-old Burhan Yusuf who received 12 years.

Those sentences are the minimum the defendants must serve before being considered for parole.

The local gang had traveled by mini-cab to the estate armed with a machete-type knife and hammer intent on attacking any random youth and Moses was probably killed by the first stab wound.

However, the frenzied attack continued with the victim receiving a further nine stab wounds plus hammer blows to the head.

The defendants were heard by witnesses callously laughing as they ran from the scene through a car park underneath a parade of shops back to the mini-cab.

Police believe their motive was no other than to ‘hunt’ down some boys that they could attack and injure.

Throughout their interviews and the trial the defendants gave no other indication as to why they attacked Moses, who did not even know them and was a totally innocent victim in their violent pack mentality.

Detective Inspector Cliff Haines from the Homicide and Serious Crime Command said: “Moses was in the wrong place at the wrong time and died in the most tragic way.

“Throughout this process his family have behaved with such dignity, it is humbling to think that they have suffered such a terrible loss.

“I would like to thank the local community for all the information and assistance they gave to this investigation, allowing us to bring these offenders to justice and I truly hope that everyone, including those connected with the Youth Awareness Programme (YAP), Tevy Bridge, can now begin to move forward with their lives.”
