An Arsenal fan was murdered on Wembley Way by men who chased him down and stabbed him 23 times in a devastating revenge attack. Hamza Iqbal, 25, was with friends at around 11pm on September 24 last year when they were suddenly attacked by three youths wielding machetes. Joshua Oladele, Micah Hines and Ali Alamiri, all aged 21, were carrying out a revenge attack on behalf of 28-year-old Dontae Smicle, who had been stabbed 11 days earlier. On Wednesday (August 28) the three attackers were jailed for life for Hamza’s murder but Snaresbrook Crown Court heard that Smicle has fled the country.
They were each sentenced to life in prison, Oladele with a minimum of 28 years, Hines with a minimum of 25 years and Alamiri with a minimum of 24 years.
