The mother of an aspiring lawyer stabbed to death in a case of mistaken identity has said dealing with the Metropolitan Police was “harder than getting someone convicted in The Hague” ahead of the sentencing of his killers.
Sven Badzak, 22, and a 16-year-old friend were attacked by a group of six young men as they walked back from Waitrose in Kilburn, north-west London, on the afternoon of February 6 2021.
......
Asked what she thought of how the police dealt with the crime on Times Radio, Mr Badzak’s mother, Jasna, said: “It was horrendous for us, they were saying that it was gang-related violence, implying that Sven was a gangster.”
She added that it became a “problem” for police to get CCTV and they were “very reluctant to do that”.
Ms Badzak, who was previously a protected witness in two trials of war criminals at The Hague after fleeing her native Yugoslavia, earlier told The Times: “Putting criminals behind bars in The Hague was a piece of cake compared with dealing with the Metropolitan police.”
......
Labelling the Met as “lazy”, she told of her anger at the fact that three suspects have not been caught.
The 51-year-old said she is “pleased” there is “finally some small semblance of justice”.
