Addressing the defence barrister, Judge Robert Hill said: ‘What the jury won’t know is he’s subject to two suspended sentences for drug-related offences that he’s going to be in breach of.

‘He was found to be driving around Wandsworth in possession of cannabis on one of the nights of this trial.’

Bentaher is due to be sentenced on February 12.
