A teenager has been sentenced to life imprisonment for being part of a gang who hunted down and stabbed 14-year-old Jaden Moodie in in an attack linked to a drug feud. Ayoub Majdouline, 19, was one of five gang members who went on a “killing” mission into a rival gang’s territory in Leyton, east London, in January this year. They rammed their car into the 14-year-old before four attackers rushed out and surrounded Jaden, who was lying on the ground, stabbing him nine times in seven seconds. After earlier being convicted of murder, Majdouline was sentenced on Wednesday at the Old Bailey and will serve a minimum of 21 years in prison. Jaden’s family told the sentencing hearing that the 14-year-old was a child who was loved and loving.
