Beibit Baimolda, a 34-year-old with no fixed address, was found guilty of murdering 42-year-old Oleg Sloboda in Walthamstow last year. The Inner London Crown Court sentenced Baimolda on 20 November to life behind bars, with a minimum term of 18 years.
Brutal Stabbing in Chingford Shocks Community
Police were called at around 9pm on Monday, 6 May 2024, after reports of a disturbance at a property on Cranston Gardens, Chingford. Officers found Oleg Sloboda on the bedroom floor, suffering from multiple stab wounds.
Forensic experts employed blood pattern analysis and a detailed examination of the scene to refute his claims. The evidence showed the attack happened where Oleg was found with no signs of a prolonged fight, wiping out Baimolda’s story that he was the one attacked.
