Here's a rundown of the criminals we know about who are now behind bars.

Christopher Lloyd Jonas-Samuel, of Rosendale Road in Herne Hill, was jailed after a jury found him guilty of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.

The 29-year-old was almost two times over the legal driving limit when he drove his Mercedes back from a house party on August 28, 2022, Prosecutor Edmund Blackman said.

At around 8.45am while driving along East Dulwich Grove he lost control at a bend, ending up on the wrong side of the road and crashing into a Nissan driving in the opposite direction.

Eyewitnesses estimated that he was driving at between 40 and 50 miles per hour, though he claims he was driving at a normal speed before he sneezed and pressed the wrong pedal causing him to accelerate.

The driver of the Nissan, who had life-changing injuries to her spine and bowels, said: "Life is never going to be the same because of someone else’s actions” 

Jonas-Samuels was sentenced to four years in prison.

Jordan Bailey-Mascoll, of The Brent in Dartford, was already serving a minimum life term of 35 years in prison for a murder in Greenwich, when he was given extra jail time this month.

The 30-year-old made headlines in 2018 when he was jailed for murdering Danny Pearce, a 31-year-old from Bromley.

He has now been given an extra year on top of his current sentence for assaulting prison officers at HMP Long Lartin in Worcestershire.

William O'Brien, a 20-year-old from Greenwich, was one of three thugs who tortured a man with knives, boiling water and a flame thrower.

Along with Charlie Saunter, from Pevensey, and Kai Haruna, from Grove Park, he subjected their victim to the prolonged and unprovoked attack over a grievance believed to have involved drugs or money.

They also subjected the man to burns, dog bites and genital mutilation in a flat in Gravesend, Kent.
