An 'evil' killer, who savagely murdered primary school teacher Sabina Nessa as she walked through a park on her way to meet friends, has been jailed for at least 36 years. Sexual predator Koci Selamaj, 36, travelled to London from East Sussex to carry out a premeditated attack on a random woman, the Old Bailey heard.
On September 17 last year, just after 8.30pm, 28-year-old Ms Nessa was walking through Cator Park in Kidbrooke, south-east London, when Selamaj ran up behind her and hit her over the head 34 times with a 2ft-long metal traffic triangle. The brutal attack was captured on CCTV.
Selamaj, a garage worker, then carried her out of view of the camera and up a grassy bank, where he pulled up her clothes, removed her tights and underwear, and strangled her. He then covered her body in grass. She was found nearly 24 hours later near a community centre in the park.
