Jordan Williams Given Life For Murder Of 18-Year-Old Daniel Graham

Teenager Gets Life For Stabbing Boy 24 Times In Less Than Minute

A teenager accused of two gang murders at the age of 16 was today given a life term.

Jordan Williams was told he would serve a minimum of 18 years for murdering Daniel Graham, 18, who was stabbed 24 times in 45 seconds.

Williams, who turned 17 last month, was part of a gang which attacked Graham as he stepped off a bus on January 29, last year.

Williams was later arrested for the murder of promising athlete Sylvester Akapalara, 17, who was shot dead in Peckham, south London, a month before.

But a jury cleared him of that killing, which resulted in Sodiq Adeojo, 20, being jailed for a minimum of 30 years today.

Williams, Colin Aghatise, 16, and Lennie John, 24, all from Peckham, were found guilty yesterday at the Old Bailey of murdering Graham.

Williams and Aghatise were today ordered to be detained during Her Majesty's Pleasure, with Aghatise given a minimum term of 15 years.

John, 24, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 22 years.

They were said to be members of the GMG gang which stands for various meanings including Guns, Murder and Girls.

Graham was attacked with knives and a broken bottle in front of horrified passengers as he got off a bus in East Dulwich, south London.

He was helped back on to the 176 bus by passengers but died from his injuries.
