A plumber has been found guilty of murdering a Deliveroo driver in a road rage attack captured on shocking CCTV footage. Nathan Smith, 28, swung out with a knife and stabbed part-time delivery driver Takieddine Boudhane, 30, on the evening of January 3, 2020, following a minor road incident.
Smith in a white VW Caddy van and moped rider Mr Boudhane had made a right turn in Finsbury Park, north London, before the fatal confrontation. Mr Boudhane, a chef, had become upset at the manoeuvre and words were exchanged, prosecutor Julian Evans QC had told jurors.
The situation escalated as Smith emerged from his van in Charteris Road with a knife in hand. Smith went “on the attack” and Mr Boudhane used his crash helmet to ward him off. Even when the incident appeared to end, Smith was “simply not prepared to let things rest there”, Mr Evans said.
