KILLERS, a paedophile, and a biting bike thief were among those put behind bars last month.
Daniel Macleod, 37, was found guilty of stabbing 22-year-old Abdul Deghayes to death in Elm Grove, Brighton.
The drugs gang kingpin, of Gypsy Road, Lambeth, will serve life in prison for the murder which took place in February 2019, and admitted supplying class A drugs using the “Frank” line in Brighton.
Southwark Crown Court heard how Macleod had sought to “humiliate” Mr Deghayes by stabbing him in the back of the legs in the darkness outside Hanover Court flats.
Mr Deghayes was left dying in a pool of his own blood and could not be saved.
Bobby Smith, 22, and Daryl Richardson 26, were jointly found guilty of killing 22-year-old Muhammed Jassey outside Kite Place West in Whitehawk Road, Brighton, in April this year.
Mr Jassey was stabbed once through the heart and collapsed nearby.
Both his killers were seen on CCTV wearing dark clothing on CCTV minutes before the attack.
Footage showed two hooded men running out of the flats to attack Mr Jassey, then fleeing back inside. Both men’s clothing had Mr Jassey’s blood on them.
The duo, formerly of Coolham Drive, Brighton and Cumberland Road, Southsea, respectively, were sentenced to life in prison.

Dangerous stabber Ian Lewis was jailed for plunging a knife into Louise Bailey in Brighton.
