THREE men have been found guilty of murder after a driver was stabbed 11 times at a set of traffic lights.
Sadiq Al-Lami was brutally murdered in the street following a highspeed pursuit between two Mercedes on Kingsway in East Didsbury.
Mr Al-Lami shouted 'help me' as he lay dying, and his killers fled. Two of them, brothers Sikander Babar and Abdul Babar, were found in the back of a lorry in Essex, apparently trying to leave the country.
Following a trial at Minshull Street Crown Court, Sultan Bakr, 22, Sikander Babar, 24, and his brother, Abdul Babar, 19, were all found guilty of murder. Jurors deliberated for just five hours. Two other men, Noraiz Kamal, 18, and Yousaf Ahmed, 24, were acquitted of murder and manslaughter.
Prosecutors said that Bakr and the Babar brothers were all involved in the horrific attack on Mr Al-Lami.
Mr Kamal was the driver of a Mercedes containing all defendants while Mr Ahmed was accused of encouraging assisting the others.
