A woman who helped two of the killers of Hani Abou El Kheir evade arrest has been jailed for nine months.

Donjeta Gashi, 21, of Kentish Town, was found guilty of perverting the course of justice following the murder of the 16-year-old in January last year.

She was convicted of helping two of Hani’s killers flee police by paying for accommodation at the Full Moon Backpacker hostel in Bristol. However, she was cleared of one other count of perverting the course of justice.

Five men were sentenced in January for a total of 131 years for killing the teenager in a frenzied knife attack in Lupus Street, Pimlico.

Ahmed Mikhaimar and Arber Barbatovci, both 20, of Pimlico, Tarquai Joseph, 19, of Maida Vale, and a 20-year-old man from Camberwell, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were each sentenced to serve a minimum of 26 years in prison for murder.

Craig Boyce, 26, of Paddington, was also convicted of murder and jailed for at least 27 years.

Detective Chief Inspector Neil Attewell, of the Scotland Yard’s homicide department, said: “I am pleased that Gashi has been handed a custodial sentence for the part she played in helping two of Hani’s killers evade arrest.

“I hope that the sentence serves as a warning to others that no matter how small the part you play in an offence, we will do all that we can to bring you before the courts.”
