wounds to his body and one critical wound to the heart. Two men who brutally attacked three teenagers with a terrifying 12-inch zombie knife in broad daylight at Notting Hill Carnival were jailed for a total of 30 years in February.

Eddie Mombele, 24, and Jordan Clarke, 20, were both convicted of grievous bodily harm at the Old Bailey on December 15 last year, and were sentenced at the same court on February 8.

The violent attacks, on boys aged 15 and 16, took place on August 28 2016 at Notting Hill Carnival.

At around 4.15pm, a 15-year-old boy was stabbed three times in the abdomen, buttocks and arm in Wornington Road.

The next two Notting Hill Carnival stabbings took place at around 5.10pm in Ladbroke Grove , when a 16-year-old boy suffered a serious stab wound to his stomach.

The other victim, aged just 15, was stabbed in the leg and required stitches.

Three boys were sentenced at Willesden Youth Court on the same day for separate knife possession charges.

A teenager caught with a huge concealed knife after a police stop and search in South Harrow was given an 8pm curfew.

Police officers found a seveninch kitchen knife wrapped in a T-shirt in his backpack as he walked through the area. The 17-year-old boy was sentenced to a one-year Youth Rehabilita­tion Order on March 14.

In a separate court case in Willesden Youth Court, a 16-yearold boy was spared jail despite stabbing a younger girl in public with a kitchen knife in a “frightenin­g” attack.

The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had met up with the victim, his 15-year-old ex-girlfriend, but brought along the weapon, using it to stab her when they had a disagreeme­nt.

He was sentenced to an 18-month Youth Rehabilita­tion Order at Willesden Youth Court on Wednesday March 14.

Finally, a teenage boy who took two six-inch knives and a hammer into school was ordered to comply with a Youth Rehabilita­tion Order on the same day.

The 17-year-old admitted carrying the three vicious weapons, as well as a black face mask, into a west London school on January 17 this year. He must comply with the order for 12 months, pay a victim surcharge of £20, and pay £50 court costs. Two men were jailed for a combined minimum of 48 years after a drug deal in Uxbridge last year ended in murder.

Neville Bowen, 24, and Mohammad Khalid, 20, were each handed life sentences on March 9 for killing Kyle Bowen in Uxbridge, Hillingdon in May last year.

The pair were found guilty of murder at Kingston Crown Court on March 8 following a trial, and sentenced at the same court the following day.

Neville Bowen, of Breakspear­s Road, Brockley, who is not related to Kyle, was ordered to serve at least 27 years in prison.

Khalid, of Well Street, in Hackney, will serve a minimum 21 years behind bars.

The victim, 23, who lived in the Hayes area, was killed on Waterloo Road after he attempted to rob cannabis dealer Khalid.

Police were called to the scene in the early hours of the morning on May 6 and found Bowen suffering from stab wounds.

A “dangerous” man was sentenced to more than 21 years behind bars after he killed a “friend” who fell asleep on a bus.

On April 27 last year John Edward Doherty, 39, from Clem Attlee Court in Fulham , met up with Archie Sheppard in Willesden to spend the day riding buses around the capital.

At around 11.15pm the pair, who allegedly drank together on occasions, boarded a route 189 bus at Brent Cross.

Both men went to the top deck of the bus – Doherty sat at the back while Mr Sheppard, 48, fell asleep in a different seat, police said.

As the bus pulled away in Park Lane, Doherty got up and moved directly behind Mr Sheppard. At around midnight Doherty pulled out a knife and launched an “unprovoked attack” on Mr Sheppard, who was still asleep.

He was sentenced at the Old Bailey on Friday March 9 to 21 years and eight months in jail.

A 45-year-old who viciously attacked a man, stabbing him 11 times in a busy street, was sentenced to life imprisonme­nt on March 12.

Alando Bolt, of Adelaide Close, Lambeth was found guilty of stabbing 30-year-old Andrew Thompson to death in Brixton on August 18, 2017.

CCTV footage shows the pair talking in Atlantic Road shortly before the attack and then later shows Bolt with a knife in hand running from the scene.

Mr Thompson, who was unarmed, didn’t strike Bolt, who stabbed him a chilling 11 times in Atlantic Road.

Bolt was found guilty of murder and possession of an offensive weapon on February 2 at the Old Bailey.
