Aziz was sentenced to life imprisonment and ordered to serve at least 19 years behind bars at Wolverhampton Crown Court after he was found guilty by a jury on December 14, 2018.

Ayman Aziz Identity Revealed
On July 25, 2019 Ayman Aziz identity was revealed as the teenager who brutally raped and murdered Viktorija Sokolova. Aziz identity at the time had been restricted because of his age.
The media organisations made an application asking the trial judge to lift the restrictions and reveal the name which the judge agreed to. The teen’s lawyers challenged that decision and the restrictions remained in place pending an appeal.
The lawyer also argued that the teenager who had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia has been “bullied and threatened” in detention and has stopped attending educational classes as a result. The trial judge together with two other judges rejected Aziz’s challenge at the Court of Appeal which leads to reveal of his name as Ayman Aziz.
