Prosecutors allege that on the evening of August 2, 2025, Wazabanga and Belfon drove more than 50 miles from their home in Bedford to south London with two children aged one and two in the car. Wazabanga was armed with a hunting knife, and he stabbed Aladejana in the chest, piercing his heart, according to the prosecution. Belfon drove Wazabanga to find Aladejana and parked across the road to see the confrontation, and after the stabbing, she drove him away, pausing briefly to allow him to recover his mobile phone. The couple did not set out to kill Aladejana but wanted to confront him about their grievance, prosecutors said, and Belfon is accused of knowing Wazabanga was armed.
The fatal confrontation stemmed from a failed car rental business arrangement. Aladejana set up a business called A2M2, with partners providing vehicles or investment, including Wazabanga investing money for car repairs and Belfon buying two Mercedes on finance for the business. Aladejana was supposed to pay off the car finance with rental money but missed payments, sending Belfon into debt and damaging her credit rating, prosecutors claim. Around April 2025, Aladejana gave away all rental vehicles from his company to another rental company run by 'Moey', and he told his girlfriend Katelyn Edwards he was 'in too much debt' and owed money to people including the defendants. Belfon messaged Aladejana and Edwards in April last year about recovering her cars.
Legal questions remain, including what specific evidence supports the allegation that Belfon knew Wazabanga was armed and the exact amount of money Aladejana allegedly owed. The identities and conditions of the two children present in the car during the incident have not been disclosed, and the current legal status or next court date for Wazabanga and Belfon is unclear. According to the Daily Mirror, Belfon described the situation as causing unnecessary stress.
