"Iqbal assisted Kennedy for around seven hours on the night Mr Alpergin was killed, providing him with a safe house to leave his clothing and mobile phone in, and laundering money for him, the court heard. Judge Sarah Whitehouse KC told the defendant that while she accepted he did not know the extent of "the gravity and the horrors of what was planned" for Mr Alpergin and Ms Dalbudak, he must have been aware that a serious criminal enterprise was afoot at the time."
"Jurors at the Old Bailey heard how the couple were travelling home to Enfield from a Mayfair restaurant when they were snatched and taken to the Stadium Lounge wine bar, which backs on to White Hart Lane. Ms Dalbudak, 36, was locked in a toilet for two days before being freed and given money for a taxi. The court had previously heard Mr Alpergin had suffered 94 separate injuries."
A couple, Mehmet Koray Alpergin and Gozde Dalbudak, were abducted in central London on 13 October 2022. Mr Alpergin was tortured and his body dumped in Essex; Ms Dalbudak was held in a toilet for two days before release. Mr Alpergin suffered 94 separate injuries. Zubair Iqbal was convicted of assisting an offender for providing a safe house, laundering money and facilitating the killer for several hours on the night of the murder. The judge found the operation was a sophisticated criminal enterprise and sentenced Iqbal to 10 months in prison amid links to organised crime and drug packaging operations.
