A man who tried to evade capture by fleeing to an Airbnb after stabbing a man to death in his own home has been convicted of murder.
Yasar Hussain, 27, of Cades Close, was today (20 May) found guilty of killing 53-year-old David Dosa at his flat in Farley Court in Luton in August 2024.
CCTV showed that on 15 August, Hussain travelled from his home to David’s flat.
The footage showed Hussain running out of the property just minutes after following David inside and fleeing the scene.
Emergency services attended, but despite their best efforts, David was pronounced dead at the scene.
Hussain then tried to cover his tracks by resetting his mobile phone and destroying the SIM card, before arranging to stay in an Airbnb in Aylesbury, where he was later found and arrested.
Hussain was convicted of murder at Luton Crown Court and will be sentenced at a later date.
Detective Chief Inspector Nick Gardner, from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit, said, “Firstly, our thoughts are with David Dosa’s family at this time.
“Ultimately, we may never know why this tragic incident happened. There is no certainty as to why Yasar Hussain had a disagreement with David Dosa, leading to a loss of life and a man now facing many years behind bars.
“Thanks to the hard work of our officers, Hussain was arrested just days after the incident, despite his best efforts to frustrate our efforts. I’m pleased he’s now been brought to justice and will be made to suffer the consequences of his actions.
“There is no justification, no excuse, and no hiding place for individuals who bring fear and violence into our communities.”
