Alastair Lawson-Tancred reports on the case and life sentences awarded at the Old Bailey for the random murder in Bayswater of taxi driver Mohammed el-Sayed by 19 year-old public schoolboys Jamie Petrolini and Richard Elsey. The pair were obsessed with the SAS, and Andy McNab’s book Bravo Two Zero, and saw murder as the ultimate dare. Includes press interviews outside court with Detective Superintendent Derek Dale who led the investigation and the victim’s wife, 39 year-old Susan el-Sayed.
