Thug stabbed victim NINE times over alleged drug debt of just £25

Dylan Kalubi has been jailed for over 15 years



A vicious thug stabbed another man nine times in a frenzied attack over an alleged unpaid drug debt of just £25.

Dylan Kalubi was jailed for more than 15 years for the ferocious attack at a flat in Spon End, Coventry, on July 26 last year.

The 22-year-old went to the flat and confronted a man over the alleged unpaid drug debt, and following a short verbal altercation Kalubi produced a knife from his pocket and stabbed the victim nine times.

Kalubi, of Windsor Street, Spon End, pleaded guilty to wounding with intent on the first day of his trial at Warwick Crown Court earlier this year.

He was sentenced at Wolverhampton Crown Court last Friday for 15-and-a-half years.

Speaking afterwards, a spokesman for Coventry Police said: “We launched an investigation and found CCTV showing Kalubi entering the block of flats wearing a distinctive hooded McKenzie top, which was later recovered in a rubbish shute, with both Kalubi’s and the man’s blood on.

“It was later discovered that just two months earlier, Kalubi had been involved in another violent outburst that saw him repeatedly kick a man in the head as he lay unconscious on the floor.

“Kalubi knocked his victim out cold with a mop handle as trouble flared between two groups at So Club Room in Coventry in the early hours of Sunday May 29 last year.

“And as he lay defenceless on the floor, Kalubi continued to punch and kick the man in the head while swinging his belt around and threatening other clubbers.”

Kalubi also pleaded guilty to affray for the So Club Room incident and was sentenced to six months to be served concurrently.

Thug who repeatedly stabbed victim over alleged drug debt loses appeal over sentence

A knife-wielding thug who stabbed another man repeatedly because he claimed the victim owed him money has been told his 12-and-a -half year jail term was not a day too long.

At London's Appeal Court, he argued that he had wrongly been condemned as a dangerous offender.

He asked Lady Justice Rafferty to cut his sentence, claiming it was far too harsh, and said the extended licence period should be removed.

But the judge said it was "relevant" that Kalubi had a previous conviction which involved him repeatedly punching a woman in the face.

"It seems he considered violence to be a justifiable response whenever he felt slighted," she added.

"He could commit a violent offence at any time and the impact would be serious."

Describing the knife attack, she said: "The victim was stabbed and fell to the ground. Kalubi continued to stab him in the legs as he lay there."

Sitting with two other judges, she concluded: "I consider there is no merit in this proposed appeal. The offence involved considerable violence.

"The judge was entirely justified in reaching the finding of dangerousness, and the overall sentence is not excessive."

Should've given him an extra 5 years for his cheek. The only ones making anything out of the appeals system are the legal profession. The con's don't pay so it's worth their while to chance it, whilst we pick up the bill. It really is time for this gravy train to hit the buffers.
