Five men have been jailed for more than 34 years following a fatal stabbing in Enfield.

Skender Ismaili, 30, was killed in July 2020 after he was stabbed in the chest in a cannabis factory in Lytton Avenue.

The attack took place while the defendants were burgling the factory that Mr Ismaili had a connection to.

A post-mortem examination confirmed Mr Ismali was killed by a single stab wound to the chest.

Detective Neil Cramer said: “As a result of a painstaking investigation, five people were charged in connection with either the killing of Skender Ismaili or the associated burglary at Lytton Avenue.

“A sixth was charged with assisting an offender. Such was the weight of evidence against them, they had no option but to enter guilty pleas.

“Mr Ismaili paid too great a price for his involvement in the cultivation of cannabis at the property. Anyone who buys illegal drugs should reflect on this human cost when considering the choices they make around drug use.”

Ali Coulibaly, 21, pleaded guilty on 15 December 2021 to manslaughter and aggravated burglary.

On Friday, Coulibaly was jailed at Woolwich Crown Court for 11 years.

Four other men pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary and a sixth man to assisting an offender.

Mason Harris-Williams, from Ealing, was jailed for six years and four months for aggravated burglary.

Daniel Fletcher was jailed for five years for the same offence.

Ahmed Yamac was put behind bars for five years and five months while Jazeel Lewis received a seven-year sentence.

Haseeb Nadeem, from Raynes Park, received a two year suspended sentence for assisting an offender.
