Man jailed for killing Exauce Ngimbi with stab wounds to heart in East London

A man has been jailed for manslaughter after stabbing his victim through the heart.

Kieron Brown, 27, was sentenced to 18 years for the manslaughter of Exauce Ngimbi in east London.

Harrow Crown Court heard that the victim, 22, was stabbed eight times on December 5 last year.

Paramedics battle to save the victim at scene in Clarence Mews, Hackney.

Brown from Homerton, was sentenced to 18 years, 15 of which will be imprisonment and the remaining three on license. He will serve a minimum of two thirds of this sentence.

A post mortem examination found cause of death to be stab wounds to the heart and aorta with eight wounds.

The victim and Brown had been involved in a fight on the day before the murder but the exact reasons for the disagreement are not known.

Detective Inspector Rita Tierney said: “Yet another young life has sadly been lost due to knife crime. While there was no evidence that Brown intended to commit murder, the carrying of a knife equipped him to inflict serious injuries that resulted in manslaughter.

“This has been an harrowing and complex case and I hope that the efforts of my officers in compiling a strong case, bring Exauce’s family a measure of comfort now that his killer has been jailed. Our thoughts are with them as they continue to grieve.”
