Two jailed for life for lawyer's murder
Two men have been jailed for life after being found guilty of the murder of City lawyer Tom ap Rhys Pryce.
At the Old Bailey on Tuesday, Donnel Carty, 19, was told that he would have to serve a minimum of 21 years, while eighteen-year-old Delano Brown was given a minimum sentence of 17 years.
Mr ap Rhys Pryce, 31, was stabbed during a mugging as he walked home from Kensal Green Tube station, north-west London on January 12.
Both Carty and Brown had denied murder, but they had pleaded guilty to robbing another man in Kensal Green station earlier on the same night.
Prior to sentencing, the witness statement from Mr ap Rhys Pryce's fiancée, fellow solicitor Adele Eastman, was read out to the court. Ms Eastman, 32, was unable to read the statement herself because the murder was committed before a change in the law allowing victims to read their own statements in court.
In the statement, Ms Eastman described the "absolute devastation" which the murder had caused.
