'My husband was killed with a knife but let down by London'

"Raish Ahmed, 50, was repeatedly stabbed outside his block of flats in east London in October last year by Daniel Whybrow, 46, in front of horrified neighbours in a dispute over the main communal door being left open. Last week, Whybrow was sentenced at Snaresbrook Crown Court to life with a minimum term of 24 years after being convicted of murder and causing grievous bodily harm."

"He said Mr Ahmed was popular in the local community, always welcoming to everyone. Mohammad Hasan Whybrow, on the other hand, was described at his sentencing by Judge Murray Shanks as "anything but a good neighbour" who had behaved in an "extremely territorial and aggressive way". The court was told of a previous incident, in July, where Whybrow called police after a row with another family in the road, but found him being abusive towards them."

Whybrow was convicted of murder and causing grievous bodily harm and sentenced to life with a minimum term of 24 years. Neighbours and family said they had complained for months about Whybrow’s aggressive and anti-social behaviour and criticised the police and council for failing to protect Mr Ahmed.
