The attack took place in March 2024<\/p>\n

A woman and two teenagers have been jailed for the murder of a 24-year-old man in a Sheffield park earlier this year.<\/p>\n

18-year-old Barney Griffin and Jack Douglas, 17, killed Sacad Ali in Ponderosa Park during the early morning of 9th March 2024.<\/p>\n

Rebecca Moore, 25, had lured Mr Ali from his friend\u2019s Netherthorpe apartment to the park at 4am, where he was then ambushed and stabbed to death by Griffin and Douglas.<\/p>\n

Moore was convicted of murder following the conclusion of a 16-day trial earlier this month, while Griffin and Douglas pleaded guilty to murder and possession of a bladed article in May.<\/p>\n

At Sheffield Crown Court yesterday, Moore and Douglas were each given 15 year prison sentences, with Griffin sentenced to 16 years in prison.<\/p>\n

Ben Wood, Detective Chief Inspector at South Yorkshire Police, said<\/a>: \u201cI know that today\u2019s sentencing won\u2019t bring Sacad back but I hope this gives his family, friends, loved ones and everybody who knew him some sort of closure as they try to rebuild their lives and recover from the grief inflicted upon them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two teenagers murdered Sacad in a barbaric way, with Moore also murdering him by duping him into meeting and luring him to the spot where he would be brutally attacked. Rather than admit her guilt, Moore then made Sacad\u2019s loved ones relive the events of the day he died by making them endure a trial in court, after which she was found guilty of murder.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of exemplary detective and policing work went into this murder investigation and today\u2019s result is testament to everyone\u2019s hard work on this tragic case.<\/p>\n

\u201cKnife crime takes too many young people\u2019s lives, and it is heartbreaking that Sacad\u2019s life was ended in this manner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Ali\u2019s family paid tribute to him in a statement<\/a> released after the sentencing.<\/p>\n

They said: \u201cSacad was a loving son and brother who was loved by all his family. He was the heart of our family and was always happy and smiling.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll those who knew Sacad, knew how positive and happy he was. It feels like all the light out of our lives has been taken.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur lives have been completely broken by what has happened, and we will never be able to forget.\u201d<\/p>\n
