Gabay had already killed a homeless Polish man with a single punch in Neasden four years earlier and served 21 months inside for manslaughter.
The Old Bailey heard Mr Payne was targeted after his cousin Simeon Campbell and Tachane Roach-Johnson clashed the day before.
Prosecutor Sally Howes QC said: “He was punched and kicked repeatedly and sustained a stab wound to the abdomen from which he eventually died.”
Mr Payne was taken to hospital for treatment and was discharged from St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, on September 13.
He collapsed and died minutes later as he left with his father Keith Payne.

“You have caused untold pain and sorrow.”
