A GANG of six youths have been put behind bars for a knife attack which left a student fighting for his life.

Faheem Javaid, aged 20, was stabbed four times in the back, struck with a rock, punched, kicked and hit with a motorcycle helmet during the attack on June 25 last year.

The gang, aged from 14 to 19 at the time of the attack, can be named after Judge Giles Forrester lifted restrictions which would have prevented some of them from being identified.

Knife-wielder Abdul Yassin-Noor, aged 20, was described as the leader in the attack near McDonald's in Well Hall Road, Eltham.

He was convicted of attempted murder at the Old Bailey last month.

Five others were convicted of wounding with intent.

The attack followed Mr Javaid's 14-year-old brother being robbed on a bus earlier that day.

When Mr Javaid found out he confronted the yobs responsible and punched one of them in the face.

Other youths, who the judge said were either members of or linked to the Ferrier Boys gang, then came out of McDonald's and surrounded Mr Javaid.

Judge Forrester said they then "set about him in the most dreadful way."

The judge explained that each of the six knew Yassin-Noor had a knife, realised he might use it and that this state of mind would have led to a murder charge if Mr Javaid had died.

Judge Forrester said: "On arrival at hospital his body was struggling to survive life-threatening injuries."

He added: "This was needless and extremely serious violence in which a knife was carried and used and in which a young man very nearly lost his life. Each of you bears a responsibility for that."

Sentencing them at the Old Bailey yesterday (July 14), he said: 'Gang membership and knife culture is prevalent.

"The public are right to be concerned about events such as these and increasingly young people are involved both as victims and defendants. Sentences to deter are necessary."

The events followed another incident on April 24 last year in Kidbrooke when Mr Javaid's other brother was also robbed and attacked.

Witnesses had seen between seven and 10 youths taking part in that attack and said a knife was also produced.

  • Yassin-Noor, of Rochester Way, Eltham, was given a 15-year sentence for attempted murder.

Simba Chiuture, aged 17, of Wricklemarsh Road, Kidbrooke, was given a total of eight years for robbery and wounding with intent in the June incident and violent disorder in the April robbery.

Alex Ojerinola, aged 17, of Ebdon Way, Kidbrooke, was given a total of seven years for robbery and wounding Mr Javaid with intent.

Trevon Bert, aged 15, of Brooklands Park, Kidbrooke, got six years for robbery and wounding with intent.

Younatan Frezgi, aged 15, of Ryan Close, Kidbrooke, was given five years for wounding with intent.

Neil Williamson, aged 17, of Langbrook Road, Kidbrooke, got five years for wounding with intent.

A 16-year-old, who cannot be named, was given a 12-month detention and training order for violent disorder in the April incident.

Bert, Ojerniola, Frezgi and Williamson were cleared of the April offence during the trial.

All the charges had been denied.

At first this comment incensed me with indignation! But after thinking about it for a while I could see his point sadly. I recently read a report of 'Old England' a century ago. It spoke of abject poverty, filth and degradation in a slum area of London, and a fatality rate of 1 in 6 due to illness, ignorance and poor conditions, but importantly knife crime was non-existent and serious crime seemed very low if any at all! So after some thought I guess that Mick is not altogether off track with his suggestion that the new influx of people over the last few decades have had an impact on crime. But I would also suggest that the culture of knife crime has not only come from unscrupulous people settling on these shores but also due to a 'must have bling and latest techno' culture, 'a lazy attitude to work honestly for a living' and a steady stream of negative media influencing young minds. Lastly a country that has taken political correctness to over-proportionate extremes and has a legal system that is largely operated from non-plussed eurocrats across the water who are impartial to what may happen here in the UK! Those who uphold the law are almost entirely powerless as a result.

Yippee! a sentence that fits the crime for these low life scum bags. Rot in prison, not so clever now are you wandering around our streets thinking you own them - well you don't you pieces of filth.

How Do These Punishments Fit The Crimes Can I Ask?
And For All These people saying that knife crime and gang culture has risen due to the people that have come over here from different climates should take a look at the photo of Neil, who is obviously white.
What are you going to say about him then?
I fink you should all get a life, sit back and voice your rascist views to your other rascist pals... cos your not helpin anyone sitting on here.
Enough Said!

rob, london says...
12:02pm Wed 16 Jul 08

they should have said that they will be deported after the sentence along with their family ie mum dad nan grandad aunts uncles then we would see knife crime come to a halt what you have to realise is these people come here from countrys where this is the normal way of life as they have to fight for everything they got but we let them into this country and wonder why crime is rife im not saying its all the imigrants but it is some of them it wasnt like this years ago but neither was immigration in their country you get caught thieving and they will cut your hands off but murdering some one is the norm the do gooders say this is multi culterism well how about our own culture? they come here to this country they should abide our laws and way of life not scream racist every chance they get if you go to there country can you get a house from the local council?NO can you claim benefits / NO could you go round mugging and thieving yes but we wouldnt last long before we got linched could we then scream racist / lmao / behave this country needs to wake up and smell the ffing coffee

Harry Brown, Bromley says...
12:24pm Wed 16 Jul 08

Smell the coffee? Rob, I think you've been smelling too much of something, and it isn't coffee.

Where does it say ANYWHERE in this article that these six scumbags were not born in this country and aren't as British as you are? Where does it say ANYWHERE in this article that these six scumbags are in this country illegally and are therefore in a position to be deported?

And Rob, where are your glasses? You obviously need to find them as you haven't spotted that one of these six scumbags is a chavvy little white kid who clearly doesn't fit in with your racist stereotyping.

As for Yassin-Noor - terrible, horrible crime. But kudos on the hair.

rob, london says...
12:47pm Wed 16 Jul 08

it doesnt but there parents or grandparents came here so if you tell them they will ALL be deported you will see a dramatic fall in crime you are one of the dogooders im on about its people like you that keep them being able to scream racist every chance they ffing get you muggy ****

12:55pm Wed 16 Jul 08

Harry Brown, who exactly is stereo-typing with comments such as 'chavvy little white kid'?

Everytime someone states the obvious they are accused of being racist!

Carry on and with a little more righteous good interference we should soon be all sailing down the swanny.

A Singh has it spot on in my opinion. Rob you ain't eloquent enough, and Harry Brown you are clearly an offended non-indiginous fellow, me thinks. Stick that up yer jumpers the pair o you!

also did you know that if these are immigrants they will be given the chance to serve half there sentence back home and be given 5000 pounds of tax payers money to do so/ where did this goverment get that idea from ? the BNP/ says it all

Se3, Kidbrooke says...
1:09pm Wed 16 Jul 08

Rob, Mate for your information... only two of the defendents were not born in this country. Two of the six are mixed race. Therefore one of their parents and one set of grandparents are white. Where could you deport them to?
And one of the defendents are fully white.
Rob you obviously don't know what your talking about.
You should wake up and a smell the coffee.
You sound like a nazi!

rob, london says...
1:20pm Wed 16 Jul 08

lmao i take it your black and probably one of the kidbrook crew these are probably your mates you could be one of the ones that got away with it and i notice that you aint got the balls to put your name and if i sound like a nazi its because of people like you and our own goverment that has made me feel this way from now on im voting BNP AND IF SOME OF THEM SRE OF MIXED RACE THEN EVEN BETTER COZ WHAT KID WOULD WANT TO MAKE THEIR PARENTS SPLIT UP? SO SENDING THE PARENTS HOME COULD WORK AND IF ONLY 2 OF THEM ARE IMMIGRANTS LIKE YOU SAY AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW YOU KNOW THIS THEN BY SENDING THESE 2 HOME WOULD BE A START / IF THESE MUGS THOUGHT THEY COULD BE DEPORTED FOR CRIME THEN MOST OF THEM WOULDNT COMMIT CRIMES IN THE FIRST PLACE WOULD THEY

Harry Brown, Bromley says...
1:40pm Wed 16 Jul 08

who exactly is stereo-typing with comments such as 'chavvy little white kid'?


Erm, no, not stereotyping. The kid is clearly white. That is a fact. Looking at a photograph, deciding the people in it must be immigrants, and making a snap judgement about all immigrants - that is stereotyping. As for the 'chav' comment - Council House and Violent - I'd say that acronym is probably true of young Mr Williamson too, wouldn't you?

Harry Brown you are clearly an offended non-indiginous fellow


No, British born and bred to British born and bred parents (and grandparents and great-grandparents etc). Oh, and white too. That probably makes a difference in your eyes. The only politically corrrect prejudice I have is against idiots, like you.

Not one part of that statement is in the slightest bit true. And if it that wasn't bad enough, you round it off with praise for the BNP, just to kill off any shred of credibility you might have had left.

lmao i take it your black and probably one of the kidbrook crew


So now you have the magical power to tell someone's skin colour from some text on a computer screen. Genius.

And Rob, if people say you sound like a nazi, it's probably because you sound like a nazi. Don't pretend anyone 'made' you into one.

Mark, Work says...
1:50pm Wed 16 Jul 08

It doesn't matter where they were born or what colour they are the fact is they are all low life scum bags.I do agree with sending the ones which were not born here back to where they came from,but send them now so they won't cost us tax payers any money.Surely the country they came from has prisons.The other's can rot in jail for all i care

rob, london says...
1:53pm Wed 16 Jul 08

THAT COMMENT ABOUT BEING ABLE TO SERVE HALF THERE SENTENCE BACK HOME WITH 5000 POUND OF TAX PAYERS MONEY IS 100 RECENT TRUE THE GOVERMENT DONT TELL YOU THESE LITTLE BITS BUT IT IS TRUE IF YOU KNOW A PRISON WARDEN THEN ASK THEM AND THEY WILL TELL YOU WHAT I HAVE JUST SAID IS TRUE AND AS FOR ME BEING ABLE TO TELL THE COLOUR OF SOME ONE ON HERE /HOW DO THEY KNOW THAT ONLY 2 OF THESE SCUM ARE IMMIGRANTS? THEY MUST KNOW THEM COZ IT DOESNT SAY WHO IS AND ISNT DOES IT/

SE3, Kidbrooke says...
3:41pm Wed 16 Jul 08

For Your Information Rob, iim Whiite, and iim A Giirl, From my comments before how can you just assume that i am black and part of there "crew"? because i am disagreeing to rascist? And Be Sending Away One side of a Childs Parents, it would just mess the kid up even more worrying about what there parent is goiing through in the other country.
Tell You What, You Can Shove your rascist views up your arse, Because ii doubt BNP will Ever gaiin power.
:)
also, ii would like to add, that nobody is commenting on the whiite boy, and it all seems the be the blacks boys fault, so think about these remarks that i have made.

The Real Me, Here says...
4:30pm Wed 16 Jul 08

Seriously tho, forget racism etc. The majority of kids that have been arrested for stabing or have been stabbed themselves appear to be non white. Can anyone answer why this is so? I am not being racist or winding people up its just an observation i have made.

4:39pm Wed 16 Jul 08

Sorry, The Real Me but stating the obvious is considered racist.

I think that most people would agree with you however. I honestly don't know why there have been more stabbings committed by non-whites usually against non-whites? I don't think it has been brought over from other countries, I think this is a home grown problem, a NEW culture, and an evil one.

The Real me, Here says...

I wonder if it is a "Yardie Ganster" type mentality, i know they are more well known for their machine guns but perhaps it is the youngsters coming through who start out with the knives....who knows.

It always amuses me when people use 'do-gooder' as a term of abuse, as if doing good isn't the right thing to do. I assume our single-cellular Rob would rather we all act against the public good.

No, I won't apologise, and nor does the News Shopper have anything to apologise for.

The word chav is neither a swear word nor a racial slur, very much unlike the term for black people you refer to.

I know there was that bizarre article in the papers today (which I assume you are referring to) which reported on some weirdy lefty group trying to outlaw the word chav. But it will never happen because anyone of any race can be a chav. It's not a race term, it's about how someone dresses, what they look like and how they behave. A combination of factors makes someone a chav.

It's very bizarre, though clearly you have strange problem with it. Touched a nerve have I?

A Reader, says...
11:05pm Wed 16 Jul 08

Harry Brown your comments are very snide. I, for one, would find the term Chav offensive, and many others no doubt would too, yet you find this 'touchiness' bizarre and strange? You obviously have never had to suffer prejudice yourself to be so flippant. Prejudice does not necessarily need to be about colour or creed. And prejudice is just as ugly as racism! In short labelling people Chavs can be construed as offensive.

Lu, says...
11:16pm Wed 16 Jul 08

Regardless of the class and colour of the assailants who carried out this heinous crime, what really rattles me about all this, is the fact that these days there is absolutely no sense of honour among these youngsters. They gang together like a bunch of feral dogs on a hunt and they have absolutely no shame so that they attack 10:1 . They are cowards because they can't fight 1:1! they need backup and weapons. In my father's day if someone had a beef with someone they would get them in the ring 1:1 and let them spar it out, afterwards shake hands and respect! The difference today is that these kids are very very frightened! There is no control taken up by their elders, thye have to look out for themselves.

Harry Brown, Bromley says...
11:20pm Wed 16 Jul 08

Since you're on your high horse 'A Reader', let me make it clear that I am not prejudiced towards anyone, other than the uneducated and ignorant - which is actually one of the dictionary definitions for 'chav', so it puts me in somewhat of a quandary! Should I be prejudiced towards the uneducated and ignorant, or not?!

Why do you find the word chav offensive? Please explain.

Other than uneducated and ignorant, a chav is also "a young working class person who dresses in casual sports clothing" (Collins English Dictionary). Oh no - that must be like the worst thing that anyone could possibly be called. Imagine the outrage of it.

I think everyone of these scumbags walking the streets armed with knives etc. are total cowards with big yellow streaks down their backs, and they are so scared to be recognised (for when they are on their own) they cover their faces with their stupid bandanas. You could'nt get more cowardly than that and they think they are hard - pathetic. Get them on their own and they are low life ignorants who have no education and are so thick they will never get a job.

So r yu saying that kids that wears a bandana and hangs around with a group of people their own age and carries a weapon on their person has not recieved education? If they live on the Ferrier Estate, or any estate for dat matter, does that make them low-lifes? What you should do is ask the question WHY do these kids need to carry weapons? What are they afraid of? Why are they equipped to battle? Calling ALL kids of this description cowards doesn't help nuffing! If your kids lived on dat estate you'd see! I fink yu got a class issue!

Em - I said they hide their faces with bandanas because they don't want to be recognised - what ordinary law abiding citizen wears a bandana covering all their face - I don't know anyone that does that not even if its cold!!!, and it's mainly these "wanabee gansters" that do this. I suggest you look up You Tube and see the morons with their faces covered spouting a load of old **** holding knives and guns etc then you will know what I mean, and I don't give a **** where they live. So they were hard working members of our society were they! they are still scumbags and they can rot in there.

You havent experienced nothing, your all victims of societys stereotypes. If you got off your arses and experienced the roads you would kjnow that these little 'yobs' arent the inhumane people, they're products of their environment and they will continue to be so until the middle class abandon the concept of 'lassiez faire'that was meant to have been abolished years ago. Forget superiority about you have jobs etc... some comunities are areas restricted by poverty. So Boii...Say Sutterrrnn DunKnoo Its Block Gang...Thamesmehh!

all the people that are criticising these yobs are as bad as they are. if you are not from the streets and you do not go out there to see what goes on then please do not come on here saying all these things about ship them back. ok we know what they did was wrong and the victim could have died, but it was 1 person that have read that stab the victim, so why are all of them paying such a high price for it.

So you come from the street do you? And are restricted by poverty. Is it those reasons for you not receiving the FREE education this country offers? Bull! Get off the street and into honest work! Anyone who wants to has an opportunity to climb out of the mire and make something of themselves. A decent and honest, hardworking person is a hundred times better than a rich man or a sloth! Don't think hard times have hit the estates of London, news is 'THEY ARE MUCH IMPROVED' The only thing that has decayed is the generations of people living there, morally! Back in the day, if parents were feckless and stupid then their kids worked hard so as NOT to be like them and stay stuck in hardship. Nowadays they just continue the benefit grabbing, workless trend! Madisa you are young and possibly enjoying your teenage freedom running with your gangs which is fine as long as you keep a good moral grounding.

At least they have been sent to prison and are off our streets. This should be a lesson to others.These attacks have to stop. If they want to fight put them in the army and send them to Iraq or afghanistan. Perhaps this should be part of there parole agreement when they are released. All they are doing are ruining there lives and futures as they will have no prospects.

why don't all you racist people get a job or do something with your life. Yes l am a WHITE person and l am a youth worker. l work with white and black kids. WhY is it that the black kids l work with all get straight A in their school work and are accepted in the best University in the country? Not on tax payers money but money that their parents have worked for. 2 of them are now going to top Medical schools. Why put all black kids in the same shoes. If a black doctor wanted to operate on your dying white child l bet you would not say no would you rob??? You have a lot of hate in you and you get angry at others showing hate. You have no leg to stand on and that is why everyone in my office full of white people are laughging at you right now. Really hope that you and the other racists are not grown, that would a joke. A child l might understand a grown man, then mate l am very worried for you. White people mug, kill and steall as well. it depends on what area you live in. Are black people to blame also for the deaths in white areas. Or is it all right that white people can kill???

Well done Lucy Ann for trying to sort out the mess that some of the kids get into. A ray of light here amongst a seething mass of hate, revenge and just plain old evil. God bless and protect you.
Yes these kids need punishment. Nobody thank God was killed.
They need to be set straight, have a sense of worth instilled in them, an honest set of values and be guided by someone who truly cares & has a love for them.
The vile attitudes I can see being vented here will only reap more of the same. Retaliation will only bring about revenge and an ever depressing cycle until someone stands up with strength to overcome that urge like Jimmy Mizzen's parents and stops it in its tracks.
With the kind of attitudes here it's not surprising that kids are of low self esteem and get angry and clash with each other and anyone else who gets in their way.
The answer is I believe:
1. Give them a real deterrent which they will fear which they'll see if they kill or badly injure another.
2. Carry out the threat. They want real firm boundaries not soft cotton wool ones.
3. Teach and show them firm family values such as honesty, respect, loyalty, truthfulness, trustworthiness, compassion, kindness, friendship and forgiveness.
4. Show them the jail, the sadness, the grief that they will find in their short life ahead if they carry on against the opposite if they turn their life around.
5. Parents should be accountable, if not already, if they have been negligent.
6. The media, tv, video and music scene should be more tightly censured to prevent kids being exposed to stuff that they are not able
