On the night Carl was killed, he was with friends and had performed a set at the Club Life nightclub near Vauxhall station.
Within an hour of the attack, Okafor confessed in a phone call to his girlfriend that he had stabbed Carl, and days later he told the same woman that he had stabbed the DJ in the stomach. She said he gave her a pair of black gloves to look after which were later passed to police. DNA which may have come from the victim was found on one of the gloves.
Police arrived at his East Dulwich home on August 13, 2009 to arrest him but he was already in hiding and took a flight from Heathrow to Lagos using his brother's name and passport.
Sarah Whitehouse QC, prosecuting, told Woolwich Crown Court that Okafor had no connection with his victim prior to the attack. She said "It is not clear, and will probably never be known, what led up to the killing of Carl Beatson by Jeffrey Okafor. You may hear that there was some ill-feeling between some members of the two groups, but there was nothing serious enough in the background for anyone to explain why knives should be drawn. What is clear, the prosecution say, is that Jeffrey Okafor was the man who killed him."
The prosecution said four days later Okafor boarded a flight from Heathrow Airport to Lagos using his brother's passport.
He was extradited from Nigeria in November last year.
Okafor pled not guilty to the murder but the jury took just two hours to convict him in London yesterday - six years after Mr Beatson-Asiedu's death.
Judge Christopher Kinch QC will sentence him today.

What a waste. I know when he was born there was jubilation, especially for being a boy. And later dedication to God, now see, only if they have known, they wouldn't have wasted their time trying to conceive him and wasting money on him ,bring him up and training.
Killed his own Igbo brother in a foreign land; tufia!
Very good. He should pay for his crime. Linda take note!
*HE CREATED DOUBT ABOUT HIM NOT BEING GUILTY WHEN HE RAN FLED THE COUNTRY. * S M H *
RIP Carl
Linda (a.k.a omo nna), you wont celebrate your Yibo brother now. na the one wey cell motor to mayweather u sabi say na yibo
Well he is done for that one. That is it for him.
Ok, he will face his penalty with gud heart
He juz wasted his life
The murderer ran but he couldn't run away! When he arrived Lagos, he must have thought he had evaded justice! He didn't realize that he had committed a crime against the state of United Kingdom which has a longer arm to rope him, unlike her Nigerian counterpart! He must have thought he was dealing with Nigeria where people commit crimes and get away unscathed! ....
..This is time for him face the music!!!
Why is it that most of the offenders are Igbo. Like 95% of crimes committed aboard are Igbo people.
Maybe na life imprisonment be that
Good to know that he's been extradited to U.K for judgement. He should face the consequences of his action.
Good! Hooliganism does not pay and I hope others learn from this that there is punishment for crimes in that part of d world..
His crime finally caught up with him
Continue resting in peace Carl.
Dude has to pay for his sin.

I remember Carl Asiedu....his parents where my neighbours in Croydon. finally justice has come for this family. RIP Carl
So many judgmental ppl in Nigeria. Most of you have done worst crimes. I feel sorry for his parents who have lost two sons to jail. And I pray for Carl's family too.
