Sisters locked up over bid to help murderer brother escape justice

Farah Khan, 28 and Husna Khan, 29, hid their sibling Khayam Ali Khurshid in a hotel after the fatal shooting of 18 year-old Cole Kershaw in Bury in August 2020.

They then drove him to Kent, and on the Eurotunnel over to Europe, where they twice tried to get him onto flights to Pakistan.

After six days on the run, as they frantically tried to arrange one, he was arrested on the streets of Amsterdam.

Khurshid was brought back to the UK and was jailed for life for his role in Cole's murder along with two others in 2021. Both women, who had promising careers, tried to claim they had simply been on a 'road trip! But they have now joined their brother behind bars after being found guilty of assisting an offender.

Cole was fatally shot in the chest on Chesham Road in Bury following a car chase on August 12, 2020.

Khurshid was in the BMW which took part in the chase, along with co-defendants Mohammed Izaarh Khan and Kamran Mohammed, who prosecutors pulled the trigger.

Following said the killing, they fled the scene. At around 11.20 pm that night, Khurshid spoke on the phone to Farah Khan, who was with her sister Husna at her home in Winsford, Cheshire.

A judge said he was sure that 'during that phone call you were both made well aware that your brother had been involved in a serious incident and required your assistance in order to escape justice! He added that by the following evening, the nature of it had become 'clear, as Husna Khan was found to have searched Cole Kershaw's name and 'GMP Bury' on Twitter.
