RELENTLESS KILLER! 18 year old boy gets life imprisonment for stabbing Israel Ogunsola to death in UK
An 18-year-old Nigerian, Jonathan Abora, has been jailed for life at the Old Bailey, London, for killing fellow Nigerian, Israel Ogunsola.
He was also sentenced to another three years, to run concurrently, for possession of a knife on Monday.
Abora and his partner who is still at large reportedly attacked Isreal, 18, as he cycled along Link Street at 8pm on April 4. They knifed him six times.
Ogunsola was found fatally wounded in Link Street, Hackney, by officers on patrol and was pronounced dead 25 minutes later.
A passer-by who witnessed the attack told investigators the attack was “relentless” and there was a clear intent to kill, Hackneygazette reports.

His cause of death was listed as multiple stab wounds.
Abora was caught through CCTV and forensic evidence.
According to the police, “Israel was hunted by Abora who was armed and ruthless in his efforts to kill.
“He will now have plenty of time to think about his actions in prison where he belongs.
“I hope this conviction brings some small comfort to Israel’s family and acts as a deterrent to anyone thinking of carrying weapons on our streets.
“We know Abora did not act alone and we are now appealing for anyone who knows what happened to call police.”
