THREE men have been jailed for life for murdering a teenager who was stabbed outside his home.

Mulangala and Onyeasi will serve a minimum of 23 years while Thomas will serve a minimum of 27 years.
Jordan Gregory Matthews, 21, of Estridge Close, Bursledon, was handed a three-year prison sentence for assisting an offender.

The honourable Mr Justice Wall described the killing as a ‘premeditated attack.’
Speaking at the sentencing at Winchester Crown Court, he said: “I am sure that Mr Such was murdered.
“And I am sure you went to his house deliberately with that in mind.”
Dawid was on the driveway of his address in Langhorn Road when at around 12.20pm Mulangala, Onyeasi and Thomas attacked him.
Dawid was stabbed in the back, leg, abdomen and arm before collapsing in the street.
He was later pronounced dead at hospital.
In a victim statement read out in court, Dawid’s mother Karolina Such said she feels like ‘someone has ripped my heart out.’
She said: “I will never come to terms with my son’s passing.
“Nobody had the right to take his life. I gave him life and he was supposed to live it with us.”
