A young man has been given a life sentence after twice stabbing a teenager in the neck for being from the wrong neighbourhood. Godfrey Madondo, 20, killed 19-year-old Jeremiah Sewell following a "chance meeting" in Beckenham Place Park in south London on July 16 last year.
Prosecutor Alan Kent KC had told jurors the motive for the murder "appears to be simply because the deceased came from Beckenham" and the defendant and his friends were from Peckham, in south London.
Mr Kent said: "It was a chance meeting, in the early hours of the morning, in an otherwise deserted car park in the middle of a public park."
