Tottenham: Four convicted of killing drug dealer Jordan Briscoe

Jordan Briscoe, 25, was robbed and stabbed to death in Tottenham, north London, on 5 March 2023

Four men and a woman have been found guilty of killing a drug dealer who was lured out of his home and "walked into a trap".

Jordan Briscoe, 25, was robbed and stabbed to death in Tottenham, north London, on 5 March 2023.

Following a 10-week trial at the Old Bailey, Jahoe Allen, 33, Karl Black, 43, Ayuub Kigozi, 18, and Jabir Sitar, 21, were found guilty of murder.

Christina Manen, 36, was convicted of manslaughter.

All five defendants will be sentenced at a later date.

The Old Bailey heard Manen phoned Mr Briscoe pretending she wanted some cannabis, asking him to meet her in Arnold Road, Tottenham.

The instructions and location were provided to her by her co-defendant, Karl Black, the court heard.

Prosecutor Jacob Hallam KC said: "At the time of the call she was not in London, let alone Arnold Road.

"Instead of meeting Manen in Arnold Road, the deceased walked into a trap."

Mr Briscoe was attacked, stabbed and robbed by a group of men who then fled the scene, leaving him to die from his injuries, the jury was told.

Manen, of Lancaster Close, Ramsgate, agreed she had made a call to Mr Briscoe on behalf of Black, but denied being part of any plan to lure the victim into an ambush.

Black, of Walthamstow, claimed he was not present at the murder scene.

Allen, of no fixed address, and Sitar, from Walthamstow, admitted being at the scene, but accused each other of committing the stabbing.

Kigozi, of Walthamstow, refused to name the knifeman.

Kigozi was also found guilty of robbery while Black, Allen and Sitar were acquitted on that charge.
