Christopher Wilson, 23, of Templar Drive was sentenced this morning (February 27) to a minimum of 16 years.
It comes after he was found guilty of the murder of Kacem Mokrane on December 12 last year, after a retrial at the Old Bailey.
He is the fifth person to be convicted, with four others convicted in June 2023.
Police were called to Mount Pleasant Road at 11.15pm with reports of an altercation between a group of armed males.
They were alerted to the presence of knives, machetes and swords at the scene of the fight.
Kacem had been ambushed by the group and was stabbed at least twice before his attackers fled the scene.
He was taken to Royal London Hospital and underwent emergency surgery but later died following complications on November 20, 2017.
A post-mortem examination gave his cause of death as multi-organ failure caused by hypovolemic shock, and complications arising from a stab wound to the abdomen.
“The manner in which Kacem was murdered, has had a life changing impact on our family.
“We will never share another meal with Kacem or watch him achieve his dreams. His caring and funny personality will only be a painful memory to us all.

“We consider that the actions of Christopher Wilson, his lack of remorse and the cowardice he has shown by denying his guilt do not deserve our forgiveness.
“The family do not feel that there should be any alternative to Christopher Wilson’s punishment other than a lengthy custodial sentence. He is a dangerous individual and should be taken off the streets for as long as is legally possible.
“We will be eternally grateful for the persistence and commitment of the police and legal team.”
