Police step up hunt for dangerous on-the-run devil worshipper who escaped from secure hospital for the second time after being locked up for murdering his cousin
Metropolitan Police have stepped up their hunt for a dangerous devil worshipper who escaped a secure hospital for the second time after he murdered his cousin.
Mosa Jamil Abid, 26, made a break for it while he was on escorted leave in a newsagent in Uxbridge Road on Monday, April, 10 at around 3pm.
The police believe he ran eastbound along Uxbridge Road before possibly entering Brent Lodge Park.
Abid was sentenced to an indefinite hospital order in June 2017 after he pleaded guilty to killing his ‘only friend’ Moamen Settar after vowing to do so in a rambling letter to Satan.
He is dressed in a navy hooded jacket, with black trousers and blue trainers.

Members of the public are advised not to approach Abid because he can be violent. He needs medication for an ongoing health condition.
The police explained he may go to a hospital looking for help or a local mosque during the Iftar period for food and drink.
Extensive CCTV enquiries are ongoing and searches of the local area continue.
His family said:’Mosa – if you are reading this then please do the right thing and return to hospital so you can get the care and support you need.
‘Every day that goes by and we don’t know you are safe and well is heart-breaking to us.’
Abid went to Mr Settar’s home in Wembley north London, on October 15, 2017, and took a large knife from the kitchen before repeatedly stabbing him.
The victim’s younger sisters heard screams from their brother’s bedroom before Abid left the house laughing with the knife hidden behind his back.
Abid then went to his father’s flat to change into a new shirt, before he was found sitting on a bench by police next morning.

When police raided his home they found documents and devil worship and the Illuminati, including the letter to Satan.
This is not the first time he has escaped hospital. On October, 10, 2019 he made off from Homerton hospital at 11.40am.
Detective Inspector Alistair Stillgoe said: ‘I understand that the longer Mosa remains missing, the more concern will grow amongst the public.
‘I want to reassure people that we are utilising all our available resources, including deploying specialist officers, to help to locate him.
‘We have had calls from members of the public and these have been followed up; some of these sightings have centred on the Hanwell area. Mosa may be sleeping rough in the area so I would ask people to keep an eye out and if they see someone fitting Mosa’s description, not to approach him, but to call us immediately.’
Anyone with information that could help the investigation is asked to call 999 quoting CAD 3873/10Apr.
