Nigerian man who stamped mother of two to d3ath jailed for life in UK
A Nigerian man who attacked a mother of two by stamping on her head after his car overturned has been sentenced to life imprisonment in United Kingdom, with a minimum term of 21 years and six months for m8rder.
Chukwuemeka Ahanonu, 24, who is a former university student, was a stranger to 56-year-old mother Nila Patel when he punched, kicked and stamped on her “with full force” causing her to die in hospital two days later with brain damage.
The fatal attack happened after the car the defendant was driving flipped over near Leicester Royal Infirmary on June 24 last year.
Ms Patel was on her way home and had just got off the bus.
Ahanonu, of Dover Street, Leicester, denied m8rder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter, claiming diminished responsibility.
He was convicted of m8rder by a jury at Leicester Crown Court on Monday, March 23, 2026 after a month-long trial.
Sentencing Ahanonu on Tuesday, March 24, who is originally from Peckham in south-east London, Judge Timothy Spencer KC said on Tuesday: “You murdered a wholly innocent woman.
“It was shocking, brutal and merciless.”
“You were angry, you were looking for a victim.
“You selected her, in my judgment, because of three things
“One was her gender, a woman – you would not have attacked a man.”
