Another five men sentenced over cyclist murder

Kyron Lee was stabbed to death in October 2022

Five more men have been sentenced for their involvement in the "senseless" murder of a cyclist who was knocked down by a stolen car.

Kyron Lee, 21, was pronounced dead at the scene after the attack in Cippenham, Slough, in October 2022.

Police said Ilias Almallah, 22, of Slough, was jailed for life with a minimum of 24 years for Mr Lee's murder at Reading Crown Court on Friday.

Four men were jailed for between 23 and 26 years for Mr Lee's murder in June.

He was sent flying over the roof of the car when it hit him in Earls Lane at about 20:45 BST on 2 October 2022.

Prosecutor Michael Shaw previously said: "[Mr Lee] got up and ran. The attackers, having stabbed him in the street where he fell, gave chase.

"He was murdered in effectively a planned execution... with multiple machetes or large knives."

Mohammed Abdulle, 22, also of Slough, was jailed for 17 years after he admitted conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm with intent in August 2023, police said.

He had helped the gang prepare for the attack but fled to the Netherlands after it and was extradited in January 2023.

Hamze Almallah, 29, also of Slough, helped his brother Ilias by paying for a flight to Spain after the murder and accompanied him to the country.

Another two men, Hamid Gaafar, 20, and Brian Visaho, 20, both from Portsmouth, helped two other offenders evade arrest, police added.

Both Gaafar and Visaho were given two-year prison sentences, which were both suspended for two years.

Hamze Almallah, Gaafar and Visaho admitted their roles in June, Thames Valley Police said.

Mr Lee's father Stephen previously said his son was the victim of the "senseless" murder.

"I will never understand how it can be so easy to take a life, and destroy the lives of others too. I have not heard a single explanation as to why my son died that day," he said.

Mr Lee's mother Donna Lesner said in June: "My only hope is that one day they understand the severity of their decisions and show some sort of remorse for taking my son's life."

Thames Valley Police's investigation into the murder was featured in a Channel 4 documentary, Catching a Killer, in the summer.
