In a tragic case that shocked the community, 20-year-old Godfrey Madondo has been found guilty of the murder of 19-year-old Jeremiah Sewell. The stabbing occurred during a chance encounter in Beckenham Place Park in the early hours of July 16 last year. Two women, Khelsi Johnson-Davies, 20, and Leah Simmonds, 20, were also implicated in attempting to cover up the crime.
The motive behind the murder, as stated by prosecutor Alan Kent KC, appeared to be the victim’s origin from Beckenham, as the assailant and his friends hailed from Peckham in south London. Kent informed the court that the fatal meeting took place in an otherwise deserted car park in the middle of the public park during the early morning hours.
