Oguzcan Dereli, 27, was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of 20-year-old Abdul-Latif Pouget in Clerkenwell, north London. Dereli received a minimum term of 24 years, alongside two years for offensive weapon possession. The judge noted Dereli's prior convictions and his attempts to evade police. Abdul-Latif was viewed as a promising football player, inspiring youth with aspirations of a professional career. His mother expressed the deep familial grief stemming from his loss, and his brother highlighted the stark contrast between their years together and the violence that cut Abdul-Latif's life short.
"We shall probably never know why you chose to get out of your car that night and run over and stab Mr Pouget."
Kawsar Pouget said: "It feels like every one of us has been stabbed and many of us - if given the chance - would have taken that wound ourselves if it had meant Abs could still be here."
