Lucima was said to have bought bleach and J Cloths and helped run errands as other gang members cut up Mr Algar’s body in his own bathtub.
Prosecutor Crispin Aylett QC said the attack on Mr Algar was “of extraordinary viciousness beyond anger”. He told jurors it was “frenzied” and a “work of borderline psychopathic proportions”.
Mr Algar was described in court as a “good guy” who had a lot of interests and “did not have a harmful bone in his body”. He suffered from mental health problems and had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
His life spiralled down after he began using and dealing Class A drugs, and his home was taken over by other dealers in what is known as a “cuckoo” situation.
William Algar, also known as Blaise, suffered from mental health issues and was killed at his home in Barnes, which was being used as a base for drug dealing.
Lucima, along with Emeka Dawuda-Wodu, was involved in the gruesome act of dismembering Algar’s body and disposing of his limbs in a nearby nature reserve.
Lucima, a street dealer, was convicted of perverting the course of justice in connection with Algar’s murder and was sentenced to three years and three months in prison
. However, he met a tragic end himself when he was shot dead on Comeragh Road.
Dawuda-Wodu, on the other hand, admitted to disposing of Algar’s body but was acquitted of his murder. He later went on to commit another murder, stabbing rival drug dealer Ebrima Cham to death in Hounslow.
