Man jailed for murder of 'talented footballer'
""We shall probably never know why you chose to get out of your car that night and run over and stab Mr Pouget.""
"Kawsar Pouget said: "It feels like every one of us has been stabbed and many of us - if given the chance - would have taken that wound ourselves if it had meant Abs could still be here.""
Oguzcan Dereli, 27, was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of 20-year-old Abdul-Latif Pouget in Clerkenwell, north London. Dereli received a minimum term of 24 years, alongside two years for offensive weapon possession. The judge noted Dereli's prior convictions and his attempts to evade police. Abdul-Latif was viewed as a promising football player, inspiring youth with aspirations of a professional career. His mother expressed the deep familial grief stemming from his loss, and his brother highlighted the stark contrast between their years together and the violence that cut Abdul-Latif's life short.
