Ben Wazabanga, 23, has been found guilty of murdering 26-year-old Ayowale Aladejana in New Cross. The verdict was delivered on Thursday, 11 June, by a jury at Southwark Crown Court after a detailed investigation involving CCTV footage and phone data.
Police revealed the killing was linked to a financial dispute between former business partners. The tension over money between Wazabanga and Aladejana escalated violently.
Evidence showed Wazabanga armed himself with a knife before launching the fatal attack. Police collected extensive CCTV recordings and analysed mobile phone records, building a strong case that demonstrated premeditation by Wazabanga.
Wazabanga will be sentenced at Southwark Crown Court on Monday, 13 July.
