A teenager has been jailed for seven years for his part in the killing of Aqib Mazhar in Forest Fields last year.
Hamza Omar Adam, 19, formerly of Berridge Road in Forest Fields, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of 21-year-old Mr Mazhar in Russell Road, Nottingham, on 1 June 2016.
Nottingham Crown Court was told on Monday (May 8) that Mr Mazhar’s Fiat Punto was attacked by a group of men with weapons.
Mr Mazhar was fatally stabbed inside the car and died at the side of the road.
Forensic evidence linked Adam to the crime and fingerprint evidence and CCTV also showed he was responsible, with the others in the group, for a co-ordinated and planned attack on the car.
Police say enquiries still continue to identify other members of the group responsible.
In December last year another four men were also convicted after admitting Mr Mazhar’s manslaughter.
Mohamud Alasow, 19, formerly of Hamilton Road, Nottingham, was jailed for 10 years and six months.
Mohammed Qasim, 25, formerly of Staindale Drive, Aspley, received nine years and 11 months.
Junaid Farrukh, 22, formerly of Heathermead Close, Oakwood, Derby, was jailed for nine years and 11 months.
Qamran Ahmed, 22, formerly of Staindale Drive, Aspley, received seven years.
Speaking after Adam’s sentencing, Detective Chief Inspector Rob Severn said: “The investigation is continuing to identify any outstanding offenders involved in this incident.
“Police are working closely with Aqib’s family and urge anyone with any information or concerns to contact Nottinghamshire Police.”
Anyone who can help is asked to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
