Mobile Phone Stabbing Murder: Teen Sentenced

A 15-year-old teenager has been jailed for at least 13 years for murdering a "promising" A-level who was trying to recover a stolen smartphone.

Dogan Ismail, 17, died from a single stab wound to the heart as he tried to get back a BlackBerry robbed from another 15-year-old during an altercation two days earlier.

His killer, Dawda Jallow, from Peckham, southeast London, was ordered to serve at least 13 years of a life sentence after he was found guilty of murder.

Before passing sentence at the Old Bailey, Judge Christopher Moss took the unusual step of lifting an order granting him anonymity as a minor.

The judge told Jallow that the attack was carried out with "force and ferocity" but added that he could not be sure whether he intended to kill his victim.

Jallow stared at the ground as his sentence was read out with members of his and his victim's families looking on.

Dogan's mother said her family had been plunged into a 'living nightmare'

He had been caught carrying a knife twice before the attack took place on December 30 last year, the court heard.

His mother had sent him back to Gambia, where they are originally from, to try to keep him out of trouble but when he returned he was "disruptive" at school.

Judge Moss described him as a "troubled boy who appeared to have a difficult background" due to the lack of a relationship with his father.

"You have said you recognise the effect that your actions have had on those who loved him (Dogan) and I can only hope that is the case," he said.

In a victim impact statement read out in court on her behalf, Dogan's mother, Ozel Ismail, said the killing had plunged her and her family into a "living nightmare".

Speaking of the love she felt for her first-born child, she said he had been "worth every sleepless night".

"I had dreams with Dogan - his first job, his first car, his first serious girlfriend," she said. "Those dreams have been stolen from me and have died with Dogan."

Detective Chief Inspector Matt Bonner welcomed the sentence for what he described as an "appalling and violent attack".

"Jallow did all he could to evade capture in the weeks following the attack, until he realised there was nowhere left to run," he said.

"He will now spend a significant amount of time behind bars for the callous crime that he has committed."
