Koci Selamaj was handed an “inevitable” life sentence for the murder of Sabina Nessa in September 2021.’s killer Koci Selamaj was yesterday jailed for life and handed a 36-year minimum prison term after the court found that he gained “considerable pleasure” from attacking the 28-year-old in a London park.
“It is a striking feature of the defendant’s case that, clearly deliberately, it is not suggested by him that he has any remorse for what he did to Sabina Nessa.”Following the sentencing, Nessa’s sister Jebina shared a short statement on Twitter, writing: “What an emotional and draining last two days have been for us. Words cannot describe how we are feeling even though he got life sentence. Forever in our hearts sis and will continue to say your name.
“We must face up to and challenge the misogyny and sexism inherent in society, which is the root of all violence against women. We cannot accept more women dying at the hands of violent men. At Women’s Aid, we will not stop campaigning for change- until all women and girls are safe.” “You had no right to take our daughter’s life away and no right to touch her,” the statement added. “Not knowing why you carried out this murder will remain on our minds.”In a joint statement, Nessa’s sisters, Jabina Islam and Sadia Ness spoke of how they’d “been told that Sabina was in the wrong place at the wrong time. “But she wasn’t,” Ms Islam said. “She had every right to be walking down that path.
During the sentencing hearing, the court heard that Selamaj had driven from his hometown of Eastbourne to Kidbrooke on the evening of the murder after unsuccessfully “trawling” Brighton for a potential sexual encounter.
