A
homeless Eritrean, who repeatedly stabbed a fellow hostel resident to
death, has been convicted at the Old Bailey of murder.
Mehretab
Zemicael, 43, (pic.bottom) punged a knife into the neck of 42 year-old
Gary Brisco (pic.top) several times at the East End hostel in Code
Street, Spitalfields.
He
was remanded in custody to be sentenced on March 6.
Police
were called by a London Ambulance Service crew at 5:39pm on Saturday,
June 22, last year after Gary was found deceased in his room.
He
had suffered multiple knife wounds, including serious stab injuries
to his neck, and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Zemicael,
a fellow resident of the hostel, was immediately identified as a
suspect.
A
man hunt was launched and the Metropolitan Police Service launched a
public appeal to find him.
Zemicael
was traced by detectives to a location in Southwark and arrested on
July 9, having slept rough since fleeing the hostel.
He
was charged the following day with the murder of Gary Brisco.
