Below outlines our police investigation and how we brought those responsible for the murder of two young men to justice.https://t.co/9HzHLhJSnU pic.twitter.com/0C4RqRHk8C
“…Ansreen and Mahek Bukhari at the arranged meet-up in the Tesco car park in Hamilton, Leicester, along with…six other defendants. The eight defendants were in two vehicles — an Audi TT and a Seat Leon. Saqib arrived at the car park in a Skoda Fabia, being driven by his friend Ijazuddin,” police said.
They said the impact of the collision caused the Skoda to split into two and its engine to detach from the body. “Both victims died immediately from multiple injuries, prior to the fire taking hold.”
Inspector Mark Parish said: “This was a callous and cold-blooded attack which ultimately cost two men their lives.
“After setting Saqib and Ijazuddin up, chasing them at high speed and then ultimately ramming their car off the road, none of the defendants made any attempt to help the victims or to call for help. Instead they drove on and then even drove back past the collision site. Still no-one attempted to offer any help.”
The jury also found Rekhan Karwan and Raees Jamal guilty of the murder. However, Natasha Akhtar, Ameer Jamal, and Sanaf Gulamustafa were declared not guilty of manslaughter. One co-accused, Mohammed Patel, was acquitted of charges.
