A teenager caught on CCTV attacking police and prison officers after he murdered his friend for his fake Rolex has been jailed for life. Kamari Gordon, 17, knifed Aron Warren with a large Rambo-style knife at the victim's home in Greenwich, southeast London on December 8 last year. As Aron, 18, lay dying the young thug helped himself to his belongings before running out of the home onto Prior Street. Gang member Gordon, who was known as LB Sav, which stood for LB Savage, then left a sickening post on Facebook saying: “Now the cub becomes the lion. And the other lion got ate.” When he was arrested days later, an iPad in his bedroom was found to contain a photo of him taken hours after the robbery, posing with Aron's watch. Aron had worked for his parents' burger van, earning £200 per shift in their catering van on matchdays at Charlton Athletic. Gordon was convicted of murder and having a bladed article by an Old Bailey jury earlier this year but cleared of robbery. After the trial, police released footage launching two CCTV clips of the teenager launching spontaneous attacks on police and prison officers. Footage from February 19 this year shows him throwing a combination of punches at a prison officer before kicking and kneeing him as he cowered on the floor. James Mulholland, QC, prosecuting, earlier told jurors: “Aron Warren had quite an affluent lifestyle." He added: “By late 2018, the defendant had grown envious of Aron Warren's lifestyle and, indeed, his possessions. “He wanted a share of Aron Warren's money and some of the expensive items he owned and had spoken to others of robbing him on a number of occasions.” The killer had been in phone contact with Aron in the hours before the killing and CCTV cameras, along with records from his sister's Oyster Card, tracked the route he took to the flat. Just minutes before knocking at the door, Gordon was seen speaking to two other friends, telling them he was on his way to Aron's place and lifting up his jacket to reveal the handle of a knife. According to another youth at Aron's home, the killer had suddenly' lunged at him, pulling back with a “bloodied knife“ and demanding money. Gordon was arrested several days later and found with the fake Rolex along with two sheathed hunting knives. “When they arrested him and searched his home, they also found an iPad on his bed in his bedroom,“ said Mr Mulholland. “Saved on that iPad was a photograph of the defendant that had been taken in the early hours of Sunday 9 December at his friend's home only a few hours after Aron Warren's death. “In that photograph he poses wearing the watch which had recently been stolen from Aron Warren; the fake Rolex.“ The prosecutor said Aron moved to the UK with his mother after spending the first six years of his life living in the Republic of Ireland. He was well-known by the nickname “Irish“, he added. Jurors heard a woman, who knew of both teenagers through her brothers, recalled seeing the killer
