A man has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of another man in Vauxhall following an argument over money, after jurors rejected his claim of self-defence.
Fawaz Abdulkareem, 36, fatally stabbed Daniel Manuel, 32, at a flat on Bondway in south London after what prosecutors said began as a dispute over a debt he owed.
A Saturday statement released by Metropolitan Police UK confirmed the conviction.
Abdulkareem was unanimously convicted of murder and possession of a bladed article in a public place at Croydon Crown Court on Thursday, 21 May.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment to serve a minimum of 17 years on Friday, June 5, 2026.
Met detectives quickly identified Abdulkareem as the attacker and arrested him at the scene, charging him the following day.
Investigators said he attempted to mislead police and dispose of the weapon by throwing it from a 14th-floor window.
