FOUR members of a teenage gang who battered and stabbed an innocent man to death in an unprovoked attack lasting just 90 seconds were given life sentences today.

Osman Amin, 17, Ahmed Ghele, 17, Liban Ali, 16, and Burhan Yusuf, 17, all from Woolwich, ambushed Moses Nteyoho, of Chalcombe Road, Abbey Wood, as he walked along Tavy Bridge in Thamesmead on October 30 last year.

The Old Bailey jury had heard the defenceless 22-year-old victim was simply "in the wrong place at the wrong time".

His killers had travelled by taxi from the Woolwich area to carry out the attack - possibly as revenge for previous trouble with youths from Thamesmead.

CCTV cameras recorded them chasing and cornering Mr Nteyoho with a knife and a hammer before leaving in the same taxi.

The four youths were unanimously convicted of murder yesterday (July 29).

Amin, Ali and Ghele were today (July 30) told they would be locked up for at least 14 years while Yusuf was given a minimum term of 12 years.

An order banning their identification was lifted.
