Musa Salih, 19, lured Harley Purdue, also 19, to the communal basement of a Thorold Road building in Chatham at around 3am on 2 December 2025, planning to lock him in a toilet and steal cash from his bedroom. The trap turned into a struggle in which Salih stabbed Purdue eight times, then went for Purdue's girlfriend when she stepped in before fleeing Medway.

Remand time trims Musa Salih's murder sentence to 24 years and 30 days, Kent Police confirmed.

Detective Sergeant Alastair Worton condemned Musa Salih's knife-armed plan to steal 'in the middle of the night'.

Harley Purdue's family thanked Kent Police and prosecutors; detectives hope the sentence brings 'some closure'.
