Brutal Murder Verdict: Warrick Carson Found Guilty of Killing Abdulrahman Nassor Juma
Warrick Carson, 25, from Bushway, Dagenham, has been found guilty of the savage murder of Abdulrahman Nassor Juma near his Barking home on the night of May 17, 2018.
Known as Mani to his friends, Abdulrahman tragically lost his life in an attack carried out by people he once knew—schoolmates and even relatives.
The Bloody Attack: Barefoot Escape and Rambo-Style Knives
The jury heard how Carson and three accomplices targeted Abdulrahman. In a desperate bid to get away, the victim kicked off his flip-flops and ran barefoot through the street, but was caught and stabbed repeatedly with large, “Rambo-style” knives.
Police were called at 11:31pm following reports of a stabbing on Crows Road near Harts Lane in Barking. Emergency services found Abdulrahman with catastrophic stab wounds. Despite frantic efforts, he was declared dead at the scene.
The post-mortem revealed an horrific 18 stab wounds to the chest and abdomen, with evidence that more than one knife was used.
Horrifying CCTV and Police Probe Uncover Chilling Details
CCTV footage showed Abdulrahman standing alone outside a block of flats when a white BMW pulled up. Two men jumped out and immediately attacked him. While the attack unfolded, the driver and passenger turned the car around, ready for a quick getaway.
Both knifemen got back into the car just two minutes and 17 seconds after leaving it, before speeding off.
The Met’s Specialist Crime Command launched an intense investigation. Mobile phone findings and CCTV linked the suspects to the murder. Carson was charged on November 20, 2018, but refused to answer police questions.
Heartbreaking Family Tribute and Police Praise
“I have relived the CCTV of my son being killed so many times,” said Abdulrahman’s father, Nassor Mohammed. “I will never forgive those who took his life. They were once friends—and even a relative.”
Detective Inspector Rita Tierney spoke of the painstaking work behind the case: “This was a planned and coordinated attack. Carson is a violent and dangerous man. Now, he faces a significant prison sentence and our community is safer.”
