Stabbed: Aghabra |
A
quarrel between two friends over borrowing another tenner ended in
bloodshed when one was stabbed to death by his needy pal.
Yusef
Al-Jaaf, 19, of Churchill Gardens, Pimlico repeatedly plunged a knife
into 19 year-old Basel Aghabra and was sentenced to life imprisonment
with a twelve-and-a-half year minimum.
He
pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey of murdering Basel on February 3 at
an address in Lilestone Street, St. John's Wood.
The
defendant had been lent £20 earlier that day for breakfast, but when
he asked to borrow another £10 a row developed between the pair,
ending with Al-Jaaf stabbing his friend six times.
Knife: Al-Jaaf |
Al-Jaaf
later confessed to officers he was at the address during the murder
which occurred after a heated argument with Basel over money.
“A
heated argument has quickly escalated with tragic consequences.
“The
only consolation to the family is that Al-Jaaf has done the decent
thing and pleaded guilty, sparing the family the ordeal of a long and
painful court case.”
