Distinguishing Features / Details

Amin was one of four youths who went 'hunting' for a victim on a rival estate after one of their number had been chased away from the estate some time before. The four arrived at the estate in a taxi, corned and beat passer-by Moses Nteyoho, 22, in the head with a hammer and stabbed him in the heart. The group left in the taxi after the attack which lasted just 90 seconds.

The judge said: "You were out hunting. This was an expedition to carry out this sort of attack...As a result of your conduct together a wholly innocent 22-year-old has lost his life...You, in contrast, left the scene laughing and unrepentant and there has still been no sign of remorse from any of you."
