Four men jailed over 'senseless' murder of cyclist

Kyron Lee was stabbed to death in October 2022

Four men who stabbed a cyclist to death in a "senseless" murder after knocking him down in a stolen car have been jailed.

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

A jury at Reading Crown Court had heard machetes or large knives were used to inflict the fatal wounds on Mr Lee.

His four killers were each given life sentences at Reading Crown Court with minimum terms of between 23 and 26 years, Thames Valley Police said.

Prosecutor Michael Shaw previously told the jury Mr Lee was killed in a "planned execution".

The victim was sent flying over the roof of the car when it hit him in Earls Lane at about 20:45 BST on 2 October, Mr Shaw said.

The prosecutor said: "He 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."

Mr Lee died at the scene after suffering injuries to his chest, leg, head and arm, the court was told.

Over a three-day hearing that ended earlier:

• Khalid Nur, 22, of Graylands Close, Slough, was sentenced to life with a minimum of 26 years after being found guilty of murder.

• Mohammed Elgamri, 20, of Carter Close, Windsor, was sentenced to life with a minimum of 25 years after being found guilty of murder.

• Yaqhub Mussa, 23, of Daylesford Grove, Slough, was sentenced to life with a minimum of 23 years and nine months after pleading guilty to murder.

• Fras Seedahmed, 19, of Surrey Avenue, Slough, was sentenced to life with a minimum of 23 years after being found guilty of murder.

Following the hearing, Mr Lee's mother Donna Lesner paid tribute to an "amazing young man" with a "beautiful caring and selfless nature".

"Kyron was more than my son, he was my rock, my biggest supporter and he made me proud to be his mother," Ms Lesner said.

Mr Lee's dad Stephen Lee described his son's death as "senseless".

"Kyron was such a positive, genuine man who, when things weren’t going well around him, made the most of life and went out of his way to help others," he said.

"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."

Det Ch Insp Mike Roddy, of Thames Valley Police, said: "There was a history of violence between this group of males and another group. It is clear to me that they intended to cause serious harm that evening.

"They utilised a stolen car, armed themselves with weapons, used clothing to mask their identities, took steps to distance themselves from the vehicle and attempted to avoid prosecution.

A force spokesperson confirmed Ilias Almallah, 22, of Eltham Avenue, Slough, was also found guilty of murder in March and Mohamed Abdulle, 21, of Kenbury Drive, Slough, previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

They will be sentenced on 19 July.
