Drug dealer was shot dead after serving sentence over dismembering of body
A group of young men have been found guilty of killing a drug dealer a year after he served a sentence for helping to dispose of a body. In 2021, Janayo Lucima, then aged 19, was jailed for three years and three months for his part in the dismemberment of 53-year-old jazz musician William Algar. Mr Algar was killed at his home in Barnes, south-west London, in a dispute with a drug-dealing gangster over money. Mr Lucima, 21, had admitted running a drugs line from the victim's property and was convicted of perverting the course of justice by buying bleach, washing up liquid, clothes and black bin bags to clean up the scene. To date, no-one has been help accountable for Mr Algar's murder. Mr Lucima was released from prison in March 2023 only to be murdered himself a year later in another unrelated dispute allegedly over drugs. On the evening of April 1 2024, he suffered a single gunshot wound to the chest. He was shot at close range by 18-year-old Mohamed Mansaray outside an address in Barons Court, west London, jurors were told. Although Mansaray pulled the trigger, the doorstep killing was orchestrated by Khuder Al Kurdi, 22, from his home nearby, the Old Bailey heard. Al Kurdi had phoned Mr Lucima and lured him outside, into the sights of gunman Mansaray who had been lurking there. Others were with Mansaray to provide 'back-up, support and encouragement', although two have fled to Somalia and Libya to avoid prosecution, jurors heard. Prosecutor Alan Gardner KC told jurors the murder was 'a planned and organised execution arising from disputes within the drugs trade'. The handgun used to kill Mr Lucima was disposed of and has not been recovered, the court was told. It had allegedly come from Al Kurdi who, jurors were told, played a 'central role' in organising the shooting. Al Kurdi, who had convictions for dealing cocaine and heroin, admitted phoning Mr Lucima but insisted it was about a drug deal. Mansaray claimed in his evidence that he did not think the gun was real, having previously been caught with a firearm in 2022. The court was told he also had convictions for possessing a blade in July and September 2022 and had admitted affray after being found with a sheath at Notting Hill Carnival. In April 2023, he was convicted of possession of class A drugs with intent to supply. Mansaray, of Neasden, north-west London, and Al Kurdi, of Barons Court, were found guilty of Mr Lucima's murder after an Old Bailey jury deliberated for 33 hours and 34 minutes. Co-defendants Muktar Said, 23, of Hammersmith; Issa Siteri, 19, of Kensington; Yusuf Abdi, 19, of Westminster; and a 17-year-old youth were also found guilty of murder. The jury was discharged on Tuesday after failing to reach verdicts on two other defendants.

Teenager ‘grinned' before stabbing man in heart with Rambo knife, trial told
A balaclava-clad teenager who had an 'unhealthy interest' in knives grinned before fatally stabbing an 18-year-old man through the heart with a Rambo-style knife, a murder trial has heard. Jurors at Derby Crown Court heard that Charles Hartle, who was aged 17 at the time, allegedly carried out an 'utterly pointless killing' when he attacked Noah Smedley on a dark street in Ilkeston, Derbyshire, on the evening of December 28 last year with the knife he kept hidden in his tracksuit bottoms. The defendant, now aged 18, sat in the dock on Tuesday wearing glasses, a black jacket and white shirt while Adrian Langdale KC opened the prosecution case. Mr Langdale told the jury of seven women and five men: 'On December 28 2024 you will have been getting over Christmas and preparing for the new year – Charles Hartle was going out on the streets armed with a knife. 'He moved towards Noah, he grinned or smiled before deliberately aiming for and stabbing him in the chest. 'There is no dispute that this lethal weapon was in the hands of that young man Charlie Hartle. 'Noah Smedley, the Crown will say, did absolutely nothing wrong, he did nothing to deserve what happened to him. He wasn't himself armed… he did not offer any violence. 'The Crown will say it was an utterly pointless killing other than this defendant's unhealthy interest with knives and the fact he was, the Crown will say, a habitual carrier of knives. 'You will hear that the defendant was planning on meeting up with three of his friends who would later witness, and be feet away from, the murder.' The court was told that Hartle and his friends arranged to meet Mr Smedley who arrived at the scene on an electric scooter and sold them cannabis before the fatal attack. Mr Langdale continued: 'It was agreed to meet him at a bus stop on Heanor Road, Ilkeston, and so the defendant and his three mates are captured on CCTV shortly after 8pm going to meet the deceased. 'This defendant deliberately hangs back at the back of the group, whilst the others are chatting with Noah and he gives them the cannabis. 'All seemingly, in these matters of seconds, are in good spirits – there is no animosity. 'This defendant will pull his balaclava down over his face, he moves forward in the group to get closer to Noah and reaches into the back of his tracksuit. 'Hartle immediately takes one stride forward and in the same motion thrusts the knife forward and through Noah's heart.' The jury heard that Hartle and his friends ran from the scene leaving Mr Smedley 'staggering and bleeding profusely'. The knife penetrated the right ventricle of Mr Smedley's heart and his left lung causing internal bleeding and his lung to collapse, the prosecutor said. Mr Langdale told the court: 'The defendant raises the idea of self-defence claiming to the police he had recently been threatened by others with knives. As a result of that he decided to take this knife out. 'The Crown say this is an entirely false account, instead it was the defendant who routinely carried a Rambo knife… and did so for the kudos and bravado.' The prosecutor said Hartle carried the weapon to show others he was a 'big man'. Jurors heard the defendant, of Station Road in Stanley, Derbyshire, pleaded guilty to possessing a bladed article in a public place but denies murder. CCTV of the group was shown to the jury, including the moment Mr Smedley was fatally stabbed with a knife described to be 'eight to nine inches' long. Hartle allegedly 'cleaned himself up' and disposed of his balaclava, knife and phone before his father drove him to Ilkeston Police Station, the court heard. The jury was told that in a prepared statement given to police, Hartle said: 'Firstly, I accept responsibility for inflicting the injury on Noah Smedley. 'There is a history to this, and Noah and I did not get on. He has, in the past, made numerous threats to me and made disparaging comments. He has threatened me with violence. 'I was petrified that he was about to lunge at me. In that split second, I instinctively lashed out with the knife I had, in self-defence.'
