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.

“You have caused untold pain and sorrow.”
