Four women Jailed For Assisting Murderers
Four women who helped the murderers of a man flee to Kenya have been sentenced to a total of six years’ imprisonment for perverting the course of justice. Moses Nteyoho, 24, of Abbey Wood, London was stabbed to death near to the Tilehurst Point flats, Tavy Bridge, on 30 October 2009. Moses and his friend had been on their way to a local youth project, when they saw a group of young men running towards them. His friend managed to get away but the pack caught up with Moses and attacked him, leaving him with stab wounds. Moses did not know his attackers and was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time when Ahmed Ghele, Osman Amin, Liban Ali and Burhan Yusuf travelled to the estate in a hired taxi with the sole intention of attacking or ‘chasing’ some boys. At Woolwich Crown Court, Maria Abdullali Mohamed, Fardowsa Adam, Suleqo al Mohamed and Khadra Mohamed Abdi were sentenced to 18 months’ imprisonment each for helping to arrange cash, flights, travel and tickets so that Moses’ murderers could flee the UK.
