Overview
- The 22-year-old was sentenced at the Old Bailey on 17 November after being found guilty of manslaughter in September.
- A machete-armed group forced entry into three addresses before reaching Bracken Avenue, where Camron was chased into his mother’s bedroom and fatally stabbed.
- Detectives linked the group through DNA left in a hijacked Toyota Prius abandoned in Lower Addiscombe, and CCTV showed Gordon fleeing the car and discarding a large machete.
- Days after the attack, Gordon flew from Heathrow to The Gambia; an international arrest warrant was issued and he was detained on his return to the UK in August 2023.
- Earlier trials led to significant sentences for others involved, including life with a 28-year minimum for Romain La Pierre, 15 years for Jordan Tcheuko, and eight years for James Olanipekun.
