Two Jailed For Life For May 2014 Dagenham Murder
Two men have been jailed for life for the murder of Ashley Latty in Dagenham in May 2014.
Ashley Latty (25) died on multiple stab wounds on 18 May last year, after he was attacked by a number of men while leaving a party in Selinas Lane, greater London.
Tyler Burton, 29, of Aberdour Road, Ilford, and Nicholas Terrelonge, 28, of Leytonstone, have been sentenced to life, with a minimum of 20 years.
Three other men have also been jailed in connection with Mr Latty's murder – 26-year-old Kestrel Daniel Dyer, of Barking, was sentenced to six-and-a-half years for attempted GBH; Jerome Joseph, 28 of Manor Park Road, was sentenced to six years for attempted GBH; And 34-year-old Nana Oppong, of no fixed address, who pleaded guilty to attempted GBH at the start of the trial, was jailed for four years.
Detective Chief Inspector Neale Baldock, of the Met's Homicide and Major Crime Command, said: "Ashley Latty went out that weekend with the sole intention of enjoying himself and his friends' company; earlier that Saturday he had been a guest at a wedding party.
"He was set upon by a group of men who launched a vicious attack, inflicting severe injuries, which ultimately led to his death. Today's convictions illustrate that if you partake in violence, regardless of the extent, you will be held accountable for your actions.
"We may not know for certain why this attack happened, but what we do know, is the number of families that have been torn apart by the senseless events of that morning."
