Sabrina Moss Killers Get 37-Year Minimum Jail

Three men have been jailed for a minimum of 37 years each for an attack which killed Sabrina Moss, who was shot while celebrating her 24th birthday.

The nursery teacher was caught in crossfire near a fast food restaurant in Kilburn, north London, in an attack by two hooded men armed with a machine gun and sawn-off shotgun.

She and her friend, Sabrina Gachette, were victims of a "deep-seated" drugs turf war as they sheltered from the rain with a group of 15 others near the Woody Grill, in the early hours of August 24, 2013.

The mother-of-one was shot in the heart and died in hospital from her injuries.

The victims' families clapped and cheered in court as the judge sentenced Hassan Hussain, 29, Martell Warren, 24, and Yasin James, 20.

Some of the defendants swore and shouted back.

The three men were jailed for life, with a minimum term of 37 years, for the murder of Miss Moss, and the attempted murder of Sabrina Gachette.

Jurors at the Old Bailey heard how Hussain discharged the Mac 10 "spray and pray" machine gun six times and James fired both barrels of the shotgun at near point blank range, before fleeing the scene in a car driven by Warren.

The women were not the intended targets and were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, unknowingly sheltering from the rain under an awning with members of a rival gang.

Their killers were out to get members of the South Kilburn Gang - and Miss Moss, who was dressed in a bright red dress and high heels - would have stood out from the crowd like a beacon in the night, jurors were told.

Miss Gachette, who was hit in the back by more than 50 gunshot pellets, survived to give evidence during the 10-week trial.

The 25-year-old, who almost a year on still has a few pellets lodged in her body, told the court: "There was no warning. I thought someone had thrown a brick at me. Then because of the explosion I thought it was a firework.

"Sabrina was in front of me and that was when I heard her say she had been shot in her heart. That is the last thing I remember hearing her say."

Miss Moss, who had just moved into a new flat with her partner and four-year-old son, had been celebrating at the Love and Liqor nightclub on the night of her murder.

The court heard how the trigger for the attack came when Martell Warren was rushed by members of a rival gang half an hour before the shooting.

Jurors heard he was a convicted drug dealer and a member of the Kensal Green Boys or Bloods, known as the KGB.

Hassan Hussain also had a previous conviction for grievous bodily harm and was jailed for five years for stabbing his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend.

The trial also found the three defendants guilty of the attempted murders of Mahad Ahmed and Edson Da'Silva, as well as weapons charges and conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm.

Simon Baptiste, 29, who acted as a spotter for the group, was sentenced to four years.
