Temidayo Awe, a student at Coventry University who participated in the Luton honeytrap murder of Saul Murray, was found guilty of the manslaughter of a father-of-six.
The third-year student contributed to the honey trap that resulted in the early-morning stabbing death of Saul Murray, 33, outside of his apartment in New Town Street on February 27, 2022.
Awe, together with three others, plotted to drug and rob Murray after seeing images of him on Instagram wearing Rolex watches. Detectives identified 31-year-old Ikem Affia as the main suspect responsible for Mr Murray’s death after looking at hours of CCTV footage.
Police investigating the murder found a key piece of evidence in the case and it was a Moncler coat costing more than £1,300 which Affia was wearing at the time of the planned attack on Mr Murray.
Less than 300 of these coats were available in the UK at the time, with just 69 being sold online. One of the rare coats had been sold to Affia’s partner and was delivered to his home address the previous year.
Two other people, Cleon Brown, 29, and, Surpreet Dhillon, 36, were also arrested and have now been sentenced for their involvement in the killing.
Luton Crown Court heard that Dhillon had initially contacted Mr Murray over Instagram before she and Awe were captured on CCTV entering his flat at around 11.40pm the night before he was found.
Awe was then seen leaving shortly before 2.30am, while Dhillon propped the communal door open with a broom, so Awe was able to later return with the two men, one of whom, Affia, was carrying a large knife.
