Uchechukwu Ejimonye sentenced to 22 years in prison for murder of teen in London
Uchechukwu Ejimonye, 20 was sentenced yesterday, Thursday, 23 June to 22 years imprisonment for killing
17-year-old Vasilaki Kakko in Holloway, east London.
Detective Inspector Mick Norman, from the Met's Homicide and Major Crime Command, said: "What
started as an evening out with friends quickly escalated into a moment
of extreme violence. Whilst it is unclear what led Ejimonye to fatally
stab Vasso, it is obvious to most people that there is never any excuse
to take someone else's life."
On 23 November 2015, police were
called at approximately 20:50hrs to reports that a man had been stabbed
on Yoke Close, close to North Road, Islington, N7. The London
Ambulance Service and London's Air Ambulance also attended and Vasilaki -
known as Vasso to family and friends - who was from Newington Green was
pronounced dead at the scene at 21:22hrs.
A post-mortem
examination held at Whittington Hospital Mortuary on 25 November 2015
gave cause of death as a stab wound to the neck. Detectives from
the Homicide and Major Crime Command launched an investigation and
quickly established that Vasso had been socialising with a small group
of acquaintances in a small public square.
