Finsbury Park murder - defendant sentenced
On 17th May Jeremy Dein QC and Sebastian Gardiner, instructed by James Skelsey of BSB Solicitors, represented Kasim Lewis who was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 29 years, having pleaded guilty to the murder of Iuliana Tudos in Finsbury Park on Christmas Eve of last year. The Common Sergeant described the offence as “wicked beyond belief” but accepted defence submissions that the court could not safely conclude that the offence involved "sadistic conduct” in accordance with section section 5(2)(e) of schedule 21 of the CJA 2003 (click here for BBC News report)
