Mohammed Nisar Khan and Tony Grant of Bradford have been jailed for life for the murder of Amriz Iqbal in October 2018.

Iqbal died in hospital, after he was fatally injured by a hit and run in broad daylight when walking in the Bradford Moor area with a friend.

Khan and Grant were both found guilty of Mr Iqbalm, attempting to murder Mr Ahmed and two charges of conspiracy to pevert the course of justice offences.

His family speak out on the ''cowardice'' of the murderers, and remember the ''wonderful human being'' their son was. 

The family statement said: "Amriz's life was taken by the worst kind of cowardice - a group of men armed with weapons and masks using a vehicle to attack whilst he was walking in the opposite direction for a motive he had no knowledge of.

Judge Jonathan Durham Hall described the attack as ''ruthless and barbaric'' 

The managing director of a stone company has been jailed for two years, following the discovery of a commercial cannabis grow underneath his business premises.

Gary Hodgkinson appeared in Bradford Crown Court yesterday. The court heard that Hodgkinson allowed others to set up the growing operation at his premises in Keighley, when his business was suffering financially as a result of the recession.

The growth was concealed behind a large safe in Hodgkinson’s store in a converted World War Two air raid shelter.

Police officers discovered 48 plants being grown in two rooms, with overhead lighting, floor fans and an air filtration system.

Almost four kilograms of harvested and packed cannabis was discovered in one room, estimated to have a street value of £36,000. The prosecution say that the growing plants could have yielded a further £45,000 worth of the drug.
