Gang 'threatened to kill and rape in month of Tube terror'
These are three of the men accused of steaming through the Tube slashing, stabbing and threatening to kill passengers in a terrifying month-long crime wave.
The nine men, aged between 17 and 23, are said to have terrorised more than 30 passengers in a campaign of knife and gunpoint muggings.
One woman passenger was threatened with rape if she refused to surrender her handbag, Middlesex Guildhall Crown Court has heard.
Other victims on the Northern line at Brent Cross were forced to hand over mobile phones, iPods and wallets between December 2005 and January last year.
Two gang members - Donnel Carty, 19, and Delano Brown, 18 - have been convicted by another jury.
Two others, Aaron Dennis, 19 and 18-year-old Sebastien Chidi, have admitted their roles in the plot and will be sentenced later.
The five in the dock, Toyan Vassall, 18, of Stanmore, Andre Lake, 22, of Kenton, Ishmael Cowell, 23, of Harrow and two 17-year-olds, are variously charged with conspiracy to rob and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
Vassall, Lake and the two 17-year-olds from Willesden and Harrow respectively and Cowell, deny conspiracy to rob. Vassall, one of the 17-year-olds and Cowell deny wounding with intent. The case continues.
