SEEM LIKE NICE BOYS - WE NEED MORE OF THEM OVER HERE

Two music producers who tried to murder a pregnant 15 year-old girl for getting in the way of their careers were jailed for a total of 32 years.

Brandon Jolie, 19, who made an album with chart-topping grime star Tinchy Stryder, wanted the victim killed to stop her having his baby.

He recruited fellow musician Kingsley Ogundele, 19, during a six-hour online chat after complaining she was 'trying to ---- up my life.'

The pair arranged to lure the victim to her death at the Regents Canal in Islington, north London.

Ogundele then battered the girl over the head with a metal pole, punched and kicked her and pushed her into the water.

She only survived because a brave passer-by interrupted the attack as Ogundele held her head under the water.

Jolie, who was known on the music scene as 'Maniac', was jailed for 14 years after admitting conspiracy to murder.

His friend Ogundele, known as 'Snoopy Montana', was convicted of the same charge after a trial and jailed for 18 years.

In a statement to the court, the victim said her whole family had been forced to move out of London in fear for their lives.

This incident took place because I became pregnant to Brandon Jolie. I didn't want to marry him but I did want him to be part of my baby's life.

"Now I don't ever want him to see my baby. This makes me feel guilty that my baby will never know his father. How can I explain that his father tried to kill us both just because I was pregnant?"

Both Ogundele and Jolie were well known in the 'grime' rap scene, a combination of hip-hop, garage and dancehall styles.

He is also earned an FA coaching badge at the age of 15 and had previously played with the West Ham schoolboy team at the age of 12.

Jolie had been in a relationship with the victim, from Lewisham, southeast London, until August last year but they split up after she discovered she was pregnant.

He had tried to persuade her to have an abortion and told her that if his mother found out she would stop paying for his tuition fees but she decided to keep the baby.

On October 19 last year Jolie began complaining to Ogundele about the girl's behaviour during a chat on the MSN chat service.

The conversation had to be 'translated' by police because of its use of internet and youth slang.

"The detail of the emails also reveals the casual and callous extent to which these two were prepared to go to get rid of and murder the girl and her baby.

"The motive for this murder was because she was pregnant with what Jolie thought was his baby. Ogundele and Jolie perceived this to be nothing more than an irritating, inconvenient problem. A problem that simply had to be eliminated."

The pair drew up a 10-point plan for the murder which was later found by detectives on Ogundele's computer.

They later arranged the attack for December 12 after the girl called Jolie to says he had just had her 24-week scan.

Jolie asked her to go to Angel tube and follow directions provided by Ogundele, a former pupil at St Aloysius College in Islington.
