The stabbing took place after an argument over a teddy bear
SHARE:
A teenager is facing life behind bars for stabbing 15-year-old Elianne Andam to death in a row over a teddy bear.
Hassan Sentamu, 18, had a history of attacking girls and carrying knives before he killed Elianne Andam outside the Whitgift Centre in Croydon, south-east London.
He had admitted manslaughter but was found guilty of murder and having a blade, as the jury rejected his claim that autism affected his ability to exercise self-control.
On Thursday, Sentamu, from New Addington, near Croydon, appeared in the dock of the Old Bailey to be sentenced by Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb.
