A teenager is facing life behind bars for killing two sisters as part of a Satanic blood pact.
Danyal Hussein, 19, stabbed Bibaa Henry, 46, and Nicole Smallman, 27, to death in a Wembley park in June last year in a case that stunned the nation.
Hussein was thought to be seeking vengeance against random women after a failed bid to win the Mega Millions Super Jackpot lottery prize of £321 million.
He has now been sentenced to life in prison, serving a minimum term of 35 years.
Met Police managed to track down Hussein through DNA evidence, before uncovering a a handwritten pledge to a demonic entity called King Lucifuge Rofocale to kill six women every six months. The pact was signed in blood.
The court heard how Hussein, who declined to give evidence during his trial, bought knives from Asda and a black balaclava on Amazon, as well a signing up to lottery betting site.
He then stalked Henry and Smallman in the early hours of 6th June, 2020, before attacking them at Fryent Country Park in Wembley, north London.
Hussein stabbed Ms Henry eight times, before he slashed Ms Smallman 28 times as she bravely fought back.
He then dragged them into bushes where they lay undiscovered for 36 hours.
On June 30 last year, in a major breakthrough, a DNA familial link was made to Hussein’s father, who had a past caution.
Within an hour and a half, Hussein was identified on CCTV buying knives in Asda and returning home after the murders.
Searches of his bedroom in south-east London uncovered a book of spells, handwritten demon symbols and two blood pacts.
The Metropolitan Police faced heavy criticism about how they handled the case.
On the evening of June 6, the sisters’ worried loved ones reported them missing, but officers were not deployed to the park until the next day.
Before they arrived, Ms Smallman’s frantic boyfriend Adam Stone, who could not believe she would have left their pet bearded dragon unattended, found the bodies.
Two police officers are facing charges of misconduct in public office after allegedly sharing pictures of the crime scene on WhatsApp.
Separately, the Independent Office of Police Complaints concluded its investigation over the response to the initial missing persons reports.
On Monday, the police watchdog found the level of service provided by the Met over the weekend when the sisters went missing was “below the standard that it should have been”.
