Luton Crown Court in England passed a sentence of life imprisonment on Adebayo Ekun who was captured in Nigeria after fleeing The United Kingdom 14 years ago following a murder which he committed at the age of 25. Police-have-been-unable-to-trace-Adebayo-Ekun-since-the-street-brawl
Following conclusive evidence against Adebayo, The British National Crime Agency facilitated the extradition of the culprit from Nigeria to England to answer for the murder of a black 18 year old British male Marcus Hall. The extradition proceedings was concluded in February this year.
Adebayo pleaded guilty to the Charge.
Adebayo Ekun, now 39, was part of a gang that beat and stabbed to death 18-year-old Marcus Hall in 2001, leaving him dying in the street marcus-hall-murder-so-solid-crew-main
In the year after the horrific murder, five people were convicted but Ekun avoided arrest and fled the UK.
Ekun was identified in CCTV footage of the attack, which took place outside Atmosphere nightclub in Luton, because of a distinctive checked coat he was wearing.
Detectives went to a designer clothes store in London where it was discovered that the jacket was one of only nine sold in the UK - and Ekun was listed as one of them.
Police raided his London home but Ekun had already left the country.
Despite the passing of 14 years Bedfordshire Police had continued the hunt for the final outstanding offender to this vicious and brutal murder.
Detective Sergeant Mark Devine said: "The conviction of Adebayo Ekun today highlights the fact that if you commit, or are involved in, serious crime such as this, then there is literally no place to hide’’.
