Four people have been jailed in connection to the murder of a man in Hounslow.
The three men and single woman were sentenced at the Old Bailey for their roles in the murder of Tyreece Scott.
Two men, 23-year-old Ben Laing of De Brome Road, Feltham and 21-year-old Dualla Abdi of Western Avenue, Acton were each jailed for 22 years for fatally stabbing Tyreece.

The pair were arrested at Stansted Airport upon their return to the UK, with Abdi holding a bag matching that from CCTV at the scene of the murder when he was arrested.
Abdi's phone proved to be vital evidence during the trial, containing web searches of 'Hounslow stabbing'.

Reda Mohamed, 24, of Linsdale Close, Hounslow was jailed for four and a half years and Morgan Allen, 29, of Reeve Street, Feltham, was jailed for two years which was suspended for 18 months.
During the trial, the jury heard that police were called to Hibernia Road at 1am on January 16, 2024.

The prosecution told the jury that there was a dispute over drug dealing on other people's 'territories' behind the case.
Det Insp Paul Fagence said: “Drug dealing is an ugly business which has cost Tyreece his life.

Tyreece Scott was the victim of the stabbing (Image: Metropolitan Police) "The case is a tragic reminder of how the supply of drugs has devastating consequences on communities.
“While there was no evidence to suggest Tyreece knew the defendants, it was the combination of CCTV, mobile phones and ANPR technology which checks vehicles of interest which helped us build a compelling case against these defendants.
"Our thoughts remain, as ever, with Tyreece’s friends and family. We hope they can now find a level of peace to move forward with their lives.”
