The family pastor of Croydon teenager, Elianne Andam, is calling for reforms of the legal system.

18-year-old Hassan Sentamu was ordered to serve at least 23 years in prison for her murder at the Old Bailey on Thursday evening.

He attacked and killed the schoolgirl outside the Whitgift shopping centre in September 2023 in a row over a teddy bear.

But, speaking outside the Old Bailey, Pastor Mark Rossell, said sentencing also needs to reflect the “intent and impact of crimes.”
