A North Kensington man who arranged for a hitman to shoot dead a young mother has been jailed for a minimum of 22 years.

Gulistan Subasi, 26, was gunned down at her mother's home in Hackney in March 2010, the Old Bailey heard.

AHMED DAYLAMI AHMADI, 46, OF DEACON ROAD, WILLESDEN, admitted assaulting his former boss in Egerton Terrace, Chelsea on October 23.

Mr Ahmadi was said to have confronted his boss, who had not paid him for work he had carried out.

As the confrontation escalated, Mr Ahmadi was said to have tripped his victim from behind, making him fall forward and graze his knuckles.

He was fined £65, ordered to pay £65 costs, a £15 victim surcharge, and £25 compensation to his former boss.

GARY MAIR, 37, OF ST JOSEPHS CLOSE, NORTH KENSINGTON, admitted using threatening words and behaviour in an incident on February 16.

He had been outside a school close to his flat, and when the head teacher went outside to investigate, Mr Mair began shouting, swearing and gesturing aggressively.

MYRIAM ZOABIR, 66, OF SHEPHERDESS WALK, HACKNEY, denied three counts of theft from Harrods when she appeared at West London Magistrates Court on Thursday (23).

On January 9, a £4,000 jacket was stolen from the Knightsbridge store, and Miss Zobair was subsequently arrested.

The jacket was returned to Harrods, but she was charged with two other thefts - one on January 2, when two Louis Vuitton handbags worth £5,200 were allegedly taken, and again on December 15, when another handbag worth £1,290 was stolen.

Miss Zobair will return to the court for trial on May 20, and was remanded on conditional bail, but is not allowed to go into Harrods.

HAMZA KHELIL-ABRAHEIM, 19, OF WILTSHIRE CLOSE, CHELSEA, appeared on Thursday (23) charged with arson, after two hanging baskets were destroyed by fire at Cedar House, Notting Hill, where he was staying.

He did not enter a plea at West London Magistrates Court, and the case was adjourned until March 9 while medical reports are put together.

Mr Khelil-Abraheim was remanded on conditional bail, and must move out of Cedar House and live with his mother in Wiltshire Close.

KEVIN MARSHALL, 28 OF WORLD'S END PASSAGE, CHELSEA, denied four charges of drug possession and one of possessing a knife.

He was arrested on August 28 and charged with possession of diamorphine and crack cocaine with intent to supply, possession of amphetamines and cannabis, and with carrying a lock knife.

Judge Justin Phillips denied jurisdiction as his sentencing powers were limited, so the trial will now be heard at crown court.

Marshall must return to West London Magistrates Court on December 12 for a committal hearing.

He was released on unconditional bail.

BERHANE KELATTI, 56, OF MILTON GROVE, STOKE NEWINGTON, admitted assaulting a colleague at Mint Casino in Cromwell Road, Kensington.

On July 25, he had got into an argument with Muslim Ullah, whom he had worked with for seven years, over sharing the workload.

It was a busy time at the casino, and Kelatti believed that Mr Ullah had been taking longer than usual breaks despite the workload.

The pair got into an argument, before Mr Ullah allegedly pushed Kelatti, who reacted by striking his colleague in the face.

Mr Ullah suffered a cut lip which needed five stitches at hospital.

Judge Justin Phillips adjourned the case until a date yet to be set, for pre sentence reports.

PATRICK GORE, 52, OF YORKSHIRE ROAD, MITCHAM, appeared at West London Magistrates Court, charged with assault.

He denied assaulting a man in Kings Road, Chelsea on June 29 this year.

Gore was sent for trial at Richmond Magistrates Court, where he will appear on December 12, and was released on unconditional bail.

JAN OSTLE, 23, OF HIGHLEVER ROAD, NORTH KENSINGTON, admitted using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, in an incident at his home on September 28.

Two men called police after complaining that he had followed them from his home with a knife and used threatening language towards them.

He claimed that it was because the men had been tormenting him on an almost daily basis after seeing him taken from his home in an ambulance a few weeks ago, when he had had a fit.

He admitted to police that he had a knife, but threw it away as he knew it would look bad, but no knife was recovered by officers.

The case was adjourned while pre-sentence reports are put together, and he was due to return on October 12.

Ostle was released on unconditional bail.

YVES MUTANDA, 29, OF GLASSHOUSE FIELDS, TOWER HAMLETS, admitted forging a Home Office document to try and gain work at Harrods in Knightsbridge.

The Congolese dad-of-two is an 'over-stayer' in Britain, after his student visa expired in 2003, so cannot receive benefits or legally work in this country.

He had gone to Harrods on September 29 with a genuine passport from the Democratic Republic of Congo, but the Home Office document he produced to say he could work over here was forged - he had borrowed an original from a friend, and put his name and details over the top of his friend's.

He admitted fraud, but said that he was just trying to find a way to provide for his partner and family.

Magistrates adjourned the case for pre-sentence reports to be compiled, and will return on a date yet to be set.

He was released on unconditional bail.
