- He was found guilty of the murder of his 36-year-old victim in West Dulwich, south east London, on 3 June 2011. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit robbery. The gang had mistaken their victim for a crack dealer and had sought to rob him. His victim was abducted and bundled into a car by Yusuf and three other men and shot twice to the back and once to the head.
The judge said: "It does not need the dreadful tragedy of last Friday in America to remind us all of the almost limitless power of the gun to damage and destroy... Guns are not bling, they are not a designer accessory available to foolish young men to impress other foolish young men, they are killing machines... It must be clearly understood that those involved in the taking of guns onto our streets which are then used to kill face life changing punishment." - Online Resources
