Koci Selamaj sentenced to for the murder of London schoolteacher Sabina Nessa | Daily Mail Online
A depraved Domino's delivery driver was today jailed for life with a minimum term of 36 years for the murder of primary school teacher
Sabina Nessa - who he brutally killed in a 'sadistic and sexually motivated attack' after planning to target a lone woman at random.
Koci Selamaj, 36, cowardly refused to face Ms Nessa's family in Court Two of the Old Bailey today as well as yesterday, while his father and sister watched from the public gallery.
Earlier this morning his lawyer had said he would never explain why he had done it, vowing to 'stay forever silent'.
But sentencing him, Judge Mr Justice Sweeney said Selamaj had 'positively enjoyed what he did in the park'.
Addressing him in absentia, he told him: 'A much loved 28-year-old primary school teacher who on the 17th of September was killed by him, a complete stranger, during a predatory attack upon her when she was walking alone.
'She was savagely beaten unconscious, dragged off the beaten track into an area of long grass.
'Yesterday the defendant refused to leave the prison to attend court or to attend from the prison via video link.
'However cowardly those refusals may be, I have no power to force him to attend. It may be that he will never be released.
'Sabina Nessa was a wholly blameless victim of an absolutely appalling murder which was entirely the fault of the defendant, which has added to the sense of insecurity people, particularly woman living in our cities, when walking or travelling alone especially at night.
