Matthew Quesada jailed for murdering man who ... - BBC World News

Matthew Quesada will spend at least 26 years in prison after stabbing to death Alan Smith, who had asked if his crying daughter was all right. The judge at the Old Bailey told Quesada, 26, he was a ?very dangerous young man? who had shown no sense of proportion in responding to what he perceived as criticism of his parenting skills. Matthew Quesada murdered Alan Smith in a frenzied attack (MPS) Kindly Mr Smith, 63, enquired after the three-year-old?s welfare after spotting that she was upset at the BB Cafe in Leyton, east London, on March 26th last year. Quesada, 26, reacted furiously to the question and said: ?Go away. What?s it f****** got to do with you?? Mr Smith was keen to avoid a confrontation and went to the nearby Roma Cafe to meet his daughter and son-in-law. Quesada went home and left the little girl with his partner, Maria Bridgette. He picked up a knife and then went in search of Mr Smith. He found him in the cafe and proceeded to stab him five times in what police described as a ?frenzied and unprovoked? attack. Mr Smith died later the same day at the Royal London Hospital and a post-mortem revealed the cause of death to be stab wounds to the heart and lungs. Quesada was found guilty of murder last month and was today sentenced to life imprisonment, with a minimum term of 26 years. Judge Peter Rook told him: ?You are a very dangerous young man. This was a truly grave crime. ?Your reaction was wholly unexpected and out of proportion. You over-reacted and took this as a slight on your parenting.? Ms Bridgette was convicted of assisting an offender and given a nine-month suspended sentence. Mr Smith?s family said that ?no words can express the devastation? that the murder had left them feeling and added: ?We will try to continue with our day-to-day lives, but we fear that we will never fully come to terms with our tragic loss.?
