Nah'shun Thomas, convicted of murdering Kalabe Legesse over a phone, lost his sentence appeal. Both he and his brother Nyran were sentenced to life in prison for the brutal crime involving a knife attack. The Court of Appeal upheld Nah'shun's lengthy sentence, rejecting claims of unfairness due to the age and role disparity between the brothers. The judge emphasized the premeditated nature of the attack and that both acted in concert. This case underscores the serious consequences of violent crime and the legal system's approach to sentencing.
This was a gratuitous and pointless murder in the course of the robbery of a member of the public of his mobile phone. It took place in a public location, a park, at night, in the dark.
Nah'shun's barrister argued that the disparity in the sentences that the two brothers received was unjust... the sentencing judge had given insufficient allowance for Nah'shun's immaturity at the time of the murder.
