Somalian Asylum Seeker Jailed 25 Years For Random Derby Bank Murder

News summary

Haybe Cabdiraxmaan Nur, a 47-year-old Somalian national and rejected asylum seeker with a criminal history across multiple European countries, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 25 years for fatally stabbing Gurvinder Singh Johal, a 37-year-old father of three, in a Lloyds Bank branch in Derby. Nur, who arrived in the UK via a small boat in October 2024 and had his asylum application denied shortly after, attacked Johal randomly as he withdrew money to pay his employees, stabbing him once in the chest before calmly leaving the bank. Prior to the murder, Nur had made threatening calls to a charity helpline, claiming he intended to kill 500 people and target professionals such as doctors and police, and exhibited violent behavior shortly after arriving in the UK. CCTV footage of the incident, described by the judge as a "real-life horror film," showed Nur acting with composure during and after the attack, which devastated Johal's family, who described their loss as a "life sentence of grief." The court heard that Nur had a history of offenses including robbery, assault, and public order offenses in countries including Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, and had recently been involved in violent incidents in the UK. The judge condemned the murder as "brutal and callous," noting its public nature and leaving Nur's potential deportation to the discretion of the Home Office.
