A man who stabbed someone to death in an “unprovoked attack” in west London has been found guilty of murder.

Sabin Manda was involved in a dispute over drugs with 27-year-old Bajram Luli in Sudbury Heights Avenue, Greenford on March 11, 2024.

Manda claimed that he attacked Bajram in self-defence after fearing for his own life.

The 32-year-old went “off the grid” after the incident, claiming that he was worried about “possible retaliation”.

However, police found CCTV footage of the attack which showed that it was unprovoked.

Manda, of Popes Lane, Ealing, was then found and arrested.

On Thursday, September 26, at Inner London Crown Court he was found guilty of murdering Luli.

Manda was remanded in custody and will be sentenced at the same court on Thursday, October 11.

Detective Inspector Adam Guttridge, Specialist Crime South, said: “The investigation team worked long and hard to locate footage of this incident that helped disprove Sabin Mandas’s claims of self-defence.

“This was an unprovoked attack and Manda will now face many years in prison to consider the consequences of his actions.

“I can only hope his conviction brings some comfort to Bajram’s family.”
