LONDON – Dellan Charles, who killed Seal O’Neill with multiple knife stabs in broad day light shouting, die, die, die has been sentenced at the Kingston Crown Court to a minimum of 23 years behind bars. He was convicted of murder on Tuesday, 17 December.

On the evening of Thursday, 18 May 2023, following an altercation between two rival groups in Reynolds Road, Hayes, Charles chased and killed Sean in a quiet residential street in broad daylight.

After cornering him, Charles used two knives to stab Sean multiple times. During the trial, the court heard how Charles shouted “die, die, die” during the attack.

In CCTV footage, Charles was pictured calmly leaving the scene after delivering the fatal blows, before making his escape by trespassing through nearby leafy suburban gardens. The jury heard how Charles disposed of a knife at a nearby address, before concocting a calculated plan to flee the area. He then went to ground for just shy of a year.

Over the course of the next ten months, detectives pieced together the course of events alongside an extensive manhunt.

The specialist team of officers then used this evidence and intelligence to capture Charles in Coventry on Wednesday, 27 March 2024, helping secure justice for Sean and his family.

The jury heard how Sean was a funny, kind and sociable person and many people have been deeply affected by his tragic death.

Detective Inspector Kevin Martin, who led the investigation for Specialist Crime South, said:

“Myself and the team once again pay tribute to Sean’s family who, throughout this distressing time, have shown real strength and togetherness.

“Heartbreakingly, nothing will ever bring Sean back, but today, the man responsible for taking him away from his much-loved family has been forced to face the reality of his malicious actions.”

In a statement previously provided by Sean’s family, they added: “We really appreciate the efforts of the Metropolitan Police and the Crown Prosecution Service in bringing about justice, as well as the support we have received throughout this difficult process.

“Sean will be remembered for his big heart, charming smile and fun-loving personality. He is incredibly loved by us all and we miss him every day.”
