Second Man Jailed For Shop Keeper Murder
A second man has been jailed for a robbery during which an elderly shop keeper was seriously assaulted.
Vasile Christian David, 21, appeared at Wood Green Crown Court on Tuesday where he was sentenced to a total of six years imprisonment for Robbery and Possessing a Firearm.
At a previous trial in heard in October 2010, Iulian Constantin Anisiu, 23 was sentenced to six years imprisonment for Robbery and Possession of an imitation firearm.
Detective Sergeant Adam Rodger, from the MPS Finchley Flying Squad, said: "This was an appalling crime during which a frail and elderly man was beaten up so badly, he ended up in intensive care with substantial internal injuries. The victim now requires specialist care at home and has flashbacks from the attack.
"The MPS Flying Squad is committed to detecting crimes and apprehending violent criminals to make our business communities feel safer."
During the incident on July 7, 2010, Vasile David, Iulian Anisiu and one other man, posed as customers moments before robbing a Post Office on East Barnet Road. Two of the men were in possession of black imitation firearms.
Anisiu and David forced their way to the back office, and in the process they pushed 74 year-old shop manager Abdul Ebrahim down to the floor.
David then repeatedly kicked Mr Ebrahim in the stomach whilst he lay on the ground. Anisiu and David then stole cash and stamps to the approximate value of £11,700.
All three suspects then made off in a Ford Ka, along Churchill Road in the direction of Brunswick Park.
Officers attended the scene and recovered an imitation firearm.
Mr Ebrahim was taken to hospital in a serious condition, where he underwent treatment for abdominal injuries. He remained in intensive care for four days, and continues to receive specialist care.
