A man has been jailed for life for killing a stranger in the street by smashing his head with a brick while high on a synthetic drug.
Malachi Lindo, 27, had taken ethylone before he killed 51-year-old Philip Steels in Enfield, north London, in the early hours of 4 September last year.
He admitted the manslaughter of Steels – who had four children –but it was argued on his behalf that he was not guilty of murder because he was suffering an abnormality of his mental functioning at the time.
Following a trial at the Old Bailey, a jury last week found Lindo, from Enfield, guilty of murder by a majority of 10 to one. Judge Paul Worsley QC sentenced him to life with a minimum of 14 years behind bars.
He said: “It was a brutal attack. In the early hours of 4 September last year, having taken a cocktail of cannabis and ethylone, you attacked a complete stranger in the street and literally smashed his head in. It was an unprovoked and tragic killing.
“It is argued and agreed by psychiatrists that you were suffering at the time a drug-induced psychosis.”
Ethylone is classified as a class B drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.
The judge said Lindo was an intelligent man who became the first of his family to go to university, studying law at Queen Mary College in London and added that this time last year, he had been shadowing an Old Bailey judge. But Lindo, who suffered from depression, dropped out of college and set himself up as a drug dealer instead.
