Chukwuemeka Michael Ahanonu, a 24-year-old drug dealer, has been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 21 years and six months for murdering 56-year-old Nila Patel in a random street attack in Leicester, UK.
Patel, a mother of two, was brutally attacked after Ahanonu crashed his car while under the influence of cannabis.
He punched, kicked, and stamped on her head, causing severe brain injuries that led to her death two days later.
Ahanonu had pleaded guilty to manslaughter but denied murder, claiming diminished responsibility.
However, the jury found him guilty of murder, citing the “most horrific, violent and random attack” on a kind and loving woman.
The court also heard that Ahanonu was involved in a significant drug-dealing business, earning up to £10,000 a month.
