"Before they were sentenced, there was laughter in the dock when a man in the public gallery shouted out: This is bulls***, it's corrupt. Keep you heads up, don't let the system break you. Judge Rebecca Trowler KC warned against further outbursts, telling the defendants: I am observing the majority of you not all laughing and demonstrating complete failure to respect this process and indeed the damage you have caused."
"Judge Trowler said statements by the victim's grieving family and friends outlined their unimaginable distress. The judge said: By all accounts Antonis was a kind, caring, loving, funny and sociable young man described by his friends in particular as a true gentleman. Antonis was plainly deeply loved and his death has taken a heavy toll on his family in different ways as well as his friends."
Five young men from Camden, north London, were convicted of murdering a Greek tourist and conspiring to rob his Lacoste bag and other possessions. Sentences carry minimum terms between 22 and 28 years: Shian Johnson at least 28 years, Sofian Alliche at least 25 years, Amin Alliche 22 years, Joshua McCorquodale 26 years, and Alfie Hipple 23 years. The killing occurred during the course of a robbery involving knives at a multimillion-pound party mansion owned by Edward 'Fast Eddie' Davenport, a venue linked to an OnlyFans personality. Courtroom scenes included laughter and a public interruption; the judge emphasised the victim's positive character and the severe impact on his family and friends.
