J'can teen found guilty of murder in Britain

André Williams, STAR Writer

A Jamaican-born teen is among four gang members sentenced to life imprisonment in Britain on Tuesday for the fatal stabbing of a 15-year-old boy, following a compelling revelation which the court heard, THE STAR understands.

The now deceased, Negus McLean, was chased by boys on bikes in Edmonton and repeatedly stabbed until the blade of a large knife broke away from its handle.

The 16-year-old Jamaican teen, who is the youngest of the gang members implicated, was found guilty of murdering McLean, an act which took place on Tuesday, April 10, 2011.

The teens implicated are all members of the Enfield EN3 Get Money Gang.

According to www.heart.co.uk, four gang members were given life terms Tuesday for killing the 15-year-old boy who was chased by a "hunting posse of boys on bicycles" and stabbed.

THE STAR gathered that the judge lifted anonymity after Billal Lariba, 18, Brandon Hamilton, 18, both of Enfield, north London, Tershan Edwards, 19, of St Albans, Hertfordshire, and the 16-year-old of Enfield were found guilty of murder.

They were given life sentences. Hamilton was ordered to serve a minimum of 19 years; Edwards - 17 years; Lariba - 16-and-a-half years; and the 16-year-old - 12-and-a-half years.
