Jury hearing solicitor's murder case discharged

Jury hearing solicitor's murder case discharged

A JURY hearing the case of a solicitor killed outside Sheffield United’s Bramhall Lane football stadium last year has been discharged this week.

Khuram Javed, 30, died after being shot three times and stabbed in the back on the night of April 10, 2021, around 9:30 pm, a jury was told.


He was shot at point blank range outside Sheffield United’s Bramhall Lane football stadium, the court heard last week.

One gunshot pierced Javed’s heart and lungs and he was pronounced dead 30 minutes later.

Sheffield Crown Court heard that Tinashe Kampira, 20; Atif Mohammed, 20, and a third man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, denied murder and possessing firearms to cause any harm.

Prosecutor Craig Hassell QC told the court the three accused were seen on CCTV in the local area and were alleged to have “lured” Javed and his friends to Countess Road, MailOnline reported.

Javed had spent the evening with friends at a flat; when he left with his three friends, another friend became concerned about the defendants seen ‘loitering’ at a nearby car park.

Javed and his friends then followed the group; witnesses said they saw three men running down the road followed by a group of five men. Later gunshots were heard.

The unnamed 19-year-old turned and fired towards Javed and his friends, Hassall said, adding they were “lured” to the scene.

The next day, Sohidul Mohamed, 24, and Saydul Mohamed, 22, then drove the 19-year-old murder accused to a safe house in Reading, Berkshire, the jurors heard. Both men denied the charge.

On Monday (31), the jury was discharged and the judge said a new jury will be sworn in on Monday (7), the BBC said.
