Sex worker guilty of murder after luring man to fatally stab him

The jury previously heard how Moore called Mr Ali in the early hours of March 9 on the pretext of wanting to buy crack cocaine and offering her services as a sex worker.

During the meeting at The Ponderosa, he sent several text messages to a phone line used by the children to inform them of Ali’s movements.

It was heard that the teenagers, who cannot be identified due to their age, had been involved in running a drug supply line and decided to attack Mr Ali “to stop him selling drugs in their area”.

A witness described seeing the children holding knives towards Ali, who shouted “please leave me alone” before being fatally stabbed.

Moore denied any responsibility for her death, but a jury returned a guilty verdict after deliberating for three hours.
