A 19-year-old student, Harper Dennis, has been given a ten-year prison sentence for the manslaughter of his former friend, Khaleed Oladipo, aged 20. The London-based teenager was found guilty of fatally stabbing Mr. Oladipo five times near De Montfort University, Leicester, on February 3. The court heard Dennis and Mr. Oladipo met through online gaming and Dennis had sent Mr. Oladipo £6,000 to fund criminal activities.
Mr. Oladipo had given Dennis a Rolex watch, believing it was genuine, but it was discovered to be fake. Dennis claimed to be acting in self-defense when Mr. Oladipo presented him with a knife, but the jury ruled his actions as manslaughter due to the "perceived debt."
