Sabina Nessa's killer gets life sentence for "savage" sexually motivated attack
Sabina Nessa

KOCI SELAMAJ, 36, has been jailed for life for murdering primary schoolteacher Sabina Nessa in a “savage” sexually motivated attack. 

Handing down the sentence at the Old Bailey this morning, Mr Justice Sweeney said that 28-year-old Ms Nessa was the “wholly blameless victim of an absolutely appalling murder which was entirely the fault of the defendant.”

Her death added to “the sense of insecurity” particularly felt by women walking through London at night, he said.
