A Nigerian-born music manager was stabbed to death after celebrating his birthday with a designer watch worth up to £300,000, a London court heard.



The Old Bailey heard that Emmanuel Odunlami, 32, was attacked by three robbers after leaving the Haz restaurant near St. Paul’s Cathedral in the City of London on May 1, 2022.

They were allegedly informed by a security operator, Kavindu Hettiarachchi, that Odunlami was wearing a Patek Philippe Nautilus watch worth between £90,000 and £300,000 if it was genuine.

Prosecutor Duncan Atkinson KC stated that Hettiarachchi was a vital member of the security team hired by the event’s organizer, Playhxuse, for the private ticketed brunch and afterparty with a DJ.

“It was part of his role to protect the safety of those, like Odunlami, who were attending the event." "In fact, he did the opposite,” the court was told.

The victim, known to friends as Jay, had driven to the city in his gray hatchback Mercedes on the day of his death to celebrate his birthday with friends, having purchased tickets for a £1,400 table.

As the event came to an end around 11 p.m., Hettiarachchi was caught on camera filming outside the venue and calling Louis Vandrose, according to the Daily Mail.

The court heard that Vandrose and Jordell Menzies were then driven by Quincy Ffrench in a white Mercedes with altered number plates from north-west London.

The prosecutor said: “The evidence shows that Vandrose, Menzies, and Ffrench were setting off in a car with a disguised registration in order to carry out a robbery, and their target was at the Haz restaurant where Hettiarachchi was working, to which he had summoned them by phone.’’
