"Robert was subjected to a brutal and sustained attack by a group of men armed with knives. He was unarmed, already wounded, and on the ground when Uwagboe attacked him. His claims of self-defence were entirely without foundation."
"Robinson suffered 12 serious stab wounds in the attack, including defensive injuries indicating he tried to protect himself from the blows, the Metropolitan Police said."
"He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 21 years on Wednesday for the murder, as well as robbery and possession of a bladed article."

Uwagboe was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 21 years and was also convicted of robbery and possession of a bladed article.
