A Pinner man convicted of manslaughter has appeared in court for sentencing.
Gabriel Silvera, 20, of Uxbridge Road, Pinner, appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court yesterday (Thursday, October 31), where he was sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment, plus a further four years on licence.
He has previously pleaded guilty to manslaughter at the same court on Monday, June 3.
Shortly after 5am on Saturday, October 28, last year, police were alerted by hospital staff when Dragos Carabineanu, 46, was brought into a central London hospital for treatment.
Dragos, who was from Burnt Oak, remained at St Mary’s Hospital in a critical condition before he sadly died from his injuries on Wednesday, November 1, 2023.
An investigation found he suffered his injuries just before midnight on Friday, October 27, 2023, outside Burnt Oak Underground Station on Watling Road in Edgware.
Detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command arrested Gabriel Silvera on Monday, November 6, 2023, on suspicion of murder.
He was charged on Tuesday, November 7, 2023.
Detective Chief Inspector Linda Bradley, leading the investigation, said: “Nothing can bring Dragos back to his loved ones, however, I was pleased that Silvera’s guilty plea spared them the experience of a trial, where they would have once again heard the details of the incident that took Dragos from them. Our thoughts are with them.”
Two other people were arrested in connection with the incident.
On Thursday, November 2, 2023, a 17-year-old male was arrested on suspicion of theft. He received a caution.
A 38-year-old woman was arrested on Friday, November 3, 2023, on suspicion of theft. Following enquiries, she was released with no further action.
