flag Duane Owusu convicted of fatally punching deaf finance assistant Zahwa Mukhtar in London, Aug. 16, 2025.

flag Duane Owusu, 36, was convicted of murdering 27-year-old Zahwa Mukhtar, a profoundly deaf finance assistant, after punching her in the neck during an altercation in east London on August 16, 2025. flag Prosecutors said Owusu ejected her from an overcrowded car, kicked her, and struck her, causing fatal injuries captured on CCTV. flag Despite his claim he only pushed her to de-escalate tension, a jury convicted him after nearly 12 hours of deliberation. flag The trial was disrupted when Mukhtar’s brother lunged at Owusu in court, leading to a £1,000 fine for contempt. flag Judge Richard Marks KC called the attack “appalling,” and Owusu was remanded into custody ahead of sentencing.
