Overview

  • Daniel Whybrow, 46, was found guilty on 22 August of murdering 50-year-old Raish Ahmed in Canning Town.
  • Jurors also convicted him of causing grievous bodily harm related to the incident.
  • Trial evidence, including CCTV, showed Whybrow retrieving a knife, shouting “I will kill you,” and stabbing Ahmed multiple times even after he fell.
  • A teenage boy who tried to intervene suffered a slash wound that was assessed as not life-threatening or life-changing.
