Yardie convicted over triple murder

A Jamaican Yardie gangster who was deported from Britain twice has been given three life sentences for killing a loving family.

Rohan Chung, 30, had a stepfather and two sisters executed after another member of the family ripped him off during a drugs deal.

Connie Morrison, 27, Lorna Morrison, 34, and Noel Patterson, 62, a cleaner, were found on a bedroom floor in their home in the Stonebridge Park estate, Harlesden, north London, in August last year.

Mr Patterson and Connie were tied up. Between them, they had eight gunshots to the head.

Lorna's eight-month-old son was found crawling around in the blood near the bodies 14 hours later.

Chung was given three life sentences with a minimum term of 40 years for what the Old Bailey judge described as "truly appalling crimes".

Judge Gerald Gordon also recommended that Chung be deported to Jamaica after serving his sentence.

A second defendant, Michael Letts, 36, of Stoke Newington, north London, was also given three life sentences for the murders. He will serve a minimum of 20 years.

After the guilty verdicts, the court was told Chung had been deported from the UK twice but had then returned - each time to commit gun crime.
