Sabrina Moss: Three Guilty Of Kilburn Murder

Three men have been found guilty of murdering a nursery teacher as she celebrated her 24th birthday.

Sabrina Moss was gunned down near a fast food restaurant in Kilburn, north London, in an attack by two hooded men armed with a machine gun and a shotgun.

The mother-of-one was shot in the heart and died in hospital from her injuries.

She and friend Sabrina Gachette were both caught in the crossfire of a "deep-seated" bloody drugs turf war as they sheltered from the rain with a group of 15 others under a shop awning by the Woody Grill on August 24, last year.

Jurors at the Old Bailey in central London heard they were not the intended targets and were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Miss Gachette, who was hit in the back by more than 50 gunshot pellets, survived to give evidence during the 10-week trial.

The 25-year-old said: "There was no warning. I thought someone had thrown a brick at me. Then because of the explosion I thought it was a firework.

"Sabrina was in front of me and that was when I heard her say she had been shot in her heart. That is the last thing I remember hearing her say.

"You hear of stabbings, gangland murders - you don't expect people to do things like this when there are innocent people around.

"It's scary to think that you are just out minding your own business and someone can creep up behind you and do something like that."

Jurors on Monday found drug dealers Hassan Hussain, 29, of Willsden; Yasin James, 20, of Wembley and Martell Warren, 23, of Kensall Green, all in London, guilty of Miss Moss's murder and the attempted murder of Miss Gachette.

Their intended targets were members of the South Kilburn Gang - and Miss Moss, who was dressed in a bright red dress and high heels - would have stood out from the crowd like a beacon in the night, jurors were told.

Nevertheless, Hussain discharged the Mac 10 "spray and pray" machine gun six times and James fired both barrels of the shotgun at near point blank range before fleeing the scene in a car driven by Warren.

Jurors heard Warren was a convicted drug dealer and a member of the Kensal Green Boys or Bloods, known as the KGB, while Hussain had a previous conviction for grievous bodily harm and was jailed for five years for stabbing his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend six times.

The trio were also found guilty of the attempted murder of Mahad Ahmed and Edson Da'Silva, possession of a Mac 10 machine gun with intent to endanger life, and possession of a shotgun with intent to endanger life.

In addition, along with a fourth defendant - Simon Baptiste, 29, from Cricklewood - they were found guilty of conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm between August 22 and August 25 last year.

Miss Gachette said afterwards: "Justice has not only been served for us as victims, it has been done for the community - there are violent people off the streets."

All three will be sentenced on September 12.
