Three jailed for fatally stabbing 19-year-old at Coventry garage

THREE men have been jailed for the killing of a 19-year-old, who was stabbed to death on 31 March 2020.

Police said Pavandeep Daudher suffered a fatal injury to his leg at the BP garage in Lockhurst Lane, Holbrooks in Coventry.


According to the police, the fatal attack on Daudher was in retaliation for an argument earlier, police added.

Jason Cornwall, 35, Riley Kavanagh, 21, Kane McCarron, 19, and Ethan Lilley, 24, all from Coventry, were found guilty for manslaughter, the BBC has reported.

West Midlands Police says, Daudher's friend Zaakir Challoner was involved in an argument the day before and had a brick thrown at his car. Lilley's home was then vandalised on the day of the attack.

Later that night Challoner was at the BP garage when a group of masked men, armed with weapons, arrived in a dark grey Ford Kuga and attacked.

Daudher was left fatally wounded. Then the masked men chased Challoner in the Kuga and smashed his car windows. Challoner was stabbed in the foot and robbed of his bag and jacket.
