Quote:West London woman, 33, accused of murdering woman, 57, severing her head and throwing it into a canalMy London:
'A murdered woman's severed head has been found in a canal, a court heard on Friday, August 11. It was discovered
in the same West London canal where "dismembered" body parts were also found earlier this week, the Old Bailey
was told.
Arizo Nour appeared via prison videolink charged with the murder of a 57-year-old woman, who cannot be named
for legal reasons, in Hounslow, West London. The 33-year-old, appeared in a grey prison sweatshirt and with messy
brown hair, spoke to confirm her name and date of birth.
Prosecutor Louise Oakley told the Old Bailey that dismembered ‘human body parts’ had been found in a canal off
Bulls Bridge Lane in Southall earlier this week. It was then revealed that a human head, thought to belong to the
victim, was found in a bag in the same canal on Thursday night (August 10).
Ms Oakley explained police were called to an address in Feltham, West London, on Sunday, August 6. She said:
“There were concerns raised about the deceased’s welfare as they had not been heard from for 24 hours.”
The course heard that “large quantities of blood” were discovered “throughout” the West London address, which is
located less than a mile from Heathrow Airport. Oakley said: “Police were called and, as a result of this, the
defendant’s details were circulated as a person of interest.”
The suspect was held in custody in the early hours of Monday (August 7). She added: “An initial search of that area
revealed a suitcase in the canal, with human body parts found inside. A further suitcase was found which also
contained human body parts.“A further item was discovered last night and that was examined this morning.
It’s believed to be part of the same body parts recovered earlier.”
Oakley said the formal identification of the deceased was expected to take place over the weekend. She continued:
“At the time there has not been formal identification of the deceased from the body parts that have been recovered.
The position is that, with the recovery last night of a bag from the canal with a head inside, there will be tests over
the weekend.”
No application for bail was made by Nour’s defence representative, and His Honour Judge Simon Mayo remanded
her into custody to appear again in December. A psychiatrist's report was also to be prepared for November...'
Quote:South London teenager stabbed 16-year-old on Brixton Victoria Line train in front of screaming passengersMy London Article:
'A teenager has been detained for more than six years for stabbing a 16-year-old boy on a Victoria line Tube train.
Amarjay Nkemayang, 19, of Crawshay Road, attacked the youngster with a hunting knife after following him onto
the Tube at Brixton station just before 3pm on November 23, the Old Bailey was told.
Steve Molloy, prosecuting, told the court that Nkemayang was part of a group of four males who came across the
16-year-old outside a JD Sports store in Brixton. They then followed the teenager to Brixton Tube station. Realising
that he was being followed, the 16-year-old pushed his way through the barriers. The four males followed after him,
splitting up as they searched the station.
The prosecutor told the court that Nkemayang – who pleaded guilty to wounding with intent and possession of an
offensive weapon at a previous hearing – followed the victim onto a Tube train, and the pair engaged in a knife fight.
The court heard that two off-duty police officers witnessed the incident.
Mr Molly summarised their witness statements: "They described the males flailing knives at each other,” he told the
court. "They were fighting each other with knives for 30 seconds.” He added that one witness said passengers were
left “screaming” and “hysterical", adding: "She said that the incident started with the defendant lunging towards
(the victim) with his knife.
"(The victim) then responded in kind, both males swinging knives in their hands.” The court heard that both males
were injured in the fight, with the 16-year-old receiving a two-and-a-half-inch wound to the left side of his torso.
Mr Molloy told the court that there was no CCTV footage of the knife fight, as the camera on the carriage was not
working. But CCTV footage from an adjacent carriage showed the aftermath of the knife fight, with Nkemayang
entering the carriage through the emergency doors.
Concerned passengers could be seen fleeing down the carriage as Nkemayang walked through it, with the knife
still in his hand. Mr Molloy said one passenger heard Nkemayang say: “I have stabbed him, I have murdered him.
I am going to go down for murder. If I had not killed him, and he comes for me, I will have to kill him.”
After the train pulled into Stockwell station, the defendant was apprehended on the platform by police and arrested.
Mr Molloy said that the 16-year-old refused to give a statement to police, and did not allow officers to take photographs
of his wound.
Speaking in mitigation for Nkemayang, Alejandra Tascon said: “This is a young man who was suffering from trauma
at the time of the incident. He himself having suffered a stabbing in October 2022, which he says led to him making
the biggest mistake of his life.”...'
