Convicted for Filmed Assault and Blackmail

Two men convicted for a brutal, camera-captured assault at a Leicester student flat were part of a terrifying spree that began at a Snapchat-advertised party near Market Harborough. The ringleader, 20-year-old Richile Vangu aka ‘Trixta’, wielded a knife, extorted cash, and forced victims to dance while being filmed. When some couldn’t pay, they were lured to Bath Lane, where Vangu escalated with a BB gun and a belt — then fled as police approached. Both men, including accomplice Oluwatobiloba Akinrinola, were found guilty of robbery, blackmail, and assault. Authorities emphasized their lack of remorse and belief they were above the law, hoping this conviction delivers justice to victims. Sentencing looms next month.
