He cut the 31-year-old's throat from behind as she walked along a south London street in broad daylight.
Johanita, who had been in central London to do some shopping, died at the scene on Stockwell Park Road, Brixton.
Two days earlier, Nur had slashed the faces of two women and a man in what the Old Bailey heard were “unprovoked and random” attacks.
Video of the moment Nur, now 34, was arrested in the early hours of May 2 shows cops extracting a makeshift blade from a pocket of his black trousers.

An officer can be heard shouting "Knife! Knife!" after finding a weapon which appears to be wrapped in a cloth.
Cops had already recovered a separate weapon used to kill Johanita after Nur discarded it while fleeing the scene.
At his trial, Judge Angela Rafferty KC said footage of the attack was "sickening" as she described Nur as "a very dangerous man".
She said he had gone out to attack someone that day and posed an "incalculable" risk to the British public who would have attacked again had he not been arrested.

The judge said Johanita was the victim of “a random, vicious and horrifying attack by a person who she had never met”.
In a victim impact statement, Johanita's sister Laura said: "What words can I use to describe how broken I am?"
She described Johanita as a "pure, innocent and loving sister".
The court heard how Nur came to the UK from Somalia in 1993, became addicted to drugs and was homeless from December 2022.
At the time of the attacks, he was living in accommodation for vulnerable adults in Vauxhall, south London.
He had previous convictions for possession of cannabis, a firearm, ammunition and blades.
Nur earlier admitted murder but denied three counts of unlawful wounding in relation to the other attacks but was found guilty on May 13 following a trial.
He did not attend any of his trial hearings and was not at the Old Bailey for sentencing on Thursday.
