Summary
- Two brothers received life and 17-year sentences for murder and manslaughter.
- Abdullah Yaser Abdullah Taleb, 16, was killed while walking on pavement.
- The incident stemmed from a dispute over stolen e-bikes and threats.
In Sheffield, two brothers have been sentenced for the tragic killing of 16-year-old Abdullah Yaser Abdullah Taleb. Zulkernain Ahmed was jailed for life with a minimum of 30 years for murder, and his brother Armaan Ahmed received a 17-year sentence for manslaughter. The jury convicted them in February.
Abdullah was walking on the pavement to buy lunch when the car, driven by Zulkernain, fatally struck him. The vehicle was reportedly being driven at a group of riders. The incident appears to have originated from a dispute over stolen e-bikes and alleged threats made against Zulkernain.
Abdullah's father described his son as optimistic and happy to be in a safe country after fleeing conflict in Yemen. He had only been in Sheffield for two months and planned to start college.
