A 19-year-old has been found guilty of killing a Buckinghamshire social worker and her sister last year.
Danyal Hussein, 19, stabbed Bibaa Henry, 46, and Nicole Smallman, 27, after making a pact with mythical King Lucifuge Rofocale, the Old Bailey heard.
Henry, a Buckinghamshire social worker had met with her sister and friends on June 6th to celebrate her birthday in Fryent County Park, Wembley. The pair stayed on after their friends had left, dancing to music with fairy lights set up.
A jury found Hussein guilty on Tuesday of two counts of murder and possession of a knife with intent after a jury deliberated for around eight hours.
In a “campaign of vengeance” Hussein pledged to kill six women every six months to win the Mega Millions Super Jackpot of £321 million and carry on killing women as long as he was able, jurors heard.
The trial had heard how Hussein prepared for the killings by buying a set of knives from Asda, a black balaclava on Amazon and signing up to a lottery betting website.
In the early hours of June 6 last year, he stalked his victims before taking Henry by surprise, stabbing her eight times.
He then attacked Ms Smallman, who suffered 28 stab wounds as she fought back.
Over the next 10 days, Hussein spent £162.88 on lottery tickets and bets – all without success.
On the evening of June 6, the sisters’ worried loved ones reported them missing but officers were not deployed to the park until the next day.
Before police arrived, Miss Smallman’s frantic boyfriend Adam Stone began searching the park with his parents. He was on the phone to police when he found the bodies at around 12.30pm.
Searches of Hussein's bedroom at his mother’s house in south-east London uncovered a book of spells, handwritten demon symbols and the two blood pacts.
In a victim impact statement read to court, the sisters’ mother Mina Smallman said:
“No-one expects their children to die before them but to have two of your three children murdered overnight is just incomprehensible.”
Listening to the detail of how her daughters died in court was “horrific” and made her think “this person cannot have a heart”, she said.
She added: “If any good comes out of this at least another four women will not meet a similar end in a so-called pact with a so-called demon.”
