00:00The victim was 32-year-old Cher Maximum.
00:04Speaking outside court, Miss Maximum's family said no sentence is long enough for her killer.
00:11But sister TJ Jacobs added they were glad that justice has been served.
00:18Please stand up.
00:21On count two for the murder of Cher Maximum, the sentence I impose is one of imprisonment for life.
00:28Sorry, detention in a young offender institution for life.
00:32The minimum term is 29 years, less the 261 days you have spent on remand.
00:39In other words, 28 years, 104 days.
00:44On count one A, the sentence is one of 15 years detention in a young offender's institution concurrent to the sentence on count two.
00:52On count three, there will be a sentence of 18 months detention in a young offender's institution, also concurrent.
00:59I have already announced the victim's surcharges are to be imposed.
01:02You may take him down.
01:03The street was carpeted with what looked like canisters of nitrous oxide.
01:09The police were totally outnumbered as the violence spun out of control.
01:16At least one of the officers was understandably terrified.
01:19Just watching the body-worn camera footage was a deeply unnerving experience.
01:27To have been there, trying to protect the public, must have been infinitely worse.
01:34Shaquille Taboo, you were Cher's killer.
01:39Taboo, who wore a medical face mask and blue beanie hats in the dock, looked straight ahead throughout the hearing.
01:48I am sure you were so fired up that you didn't hesitate to use your knife in front of a huge crowd of people, including children, most of whom were there to enjoy themselves.
02:01Your violence was so brazen that it was carried out in front of police officers in full uniform and wearing body-worn cameras.
02:08You put many people at risk, and you even injured Cher's little daughter.
02:15The police body-worn camera footage was analysed meticulously.
02:21It shows you doing your best to stab another young man, Ajay Isaac.
02:27You've done it.
02:28You were Icky.
02:29...
