A High Court judge has ruled that the public should be told the name of a teenage drug dealer who bought 79 knives, swords and machetes in the months before stabbing a man to death.
Mrs Justice Foster has lifted an order which had prevented journalists revealing the identity of 17-year-old Rayis Nibeel, who has been convicted of murdering 38-year-old Omar Khan in Luton.
An order had been made under legislation aimed at protecting children and teenagers involved in court cases.
But the judge has lifted the order after the BBC argued that revealing Nibeel’s name was in the public interest.
