In a significant verdict delivered at the Old Bailey, two men were found guilty for their central roles in the fatal stabbing of 21-year-old Givani Espuet during a Halloween party.
The trial unfolded with chilling details, revealing the stark reality of senseless violence outside the Aura Lounge nightclub in Wembley on October 30, 2022.
Givani Espuet’s untimely death left behind a grieving family, partner, and community. The altercation, sparked by a heated dispute within the nightclub, escalated into a violent confrontation on the streets.
Amidst the chaos, Kadeem Hibbert and Sahid Kpaka emerged as the primary perpetrators, wielding knives and relentlessly pursuing Givani. Despite his attempts to flee, Givani succumbed to multiple stab wounds inflicted by the defendants.
