Yesterday, two men were sentenced to a minimum of 60 years in jail over the killing of taxi boss Mohammed Haroon Zeb.

The 39-year-old was shot in the head in Queens Cross at just after 12.30am on January 31, 2021 - his 39th birthday - as the culmination of a feud between two families.

The taxi firm manager, known as Haroon, had only just pulled up outside his home and he sadly died in hospital from his injuries later that day.

CCTV footage shows a Volkswagen Golf slowing down, before shots are fired out of the window of the car by passenger Hassan Tasleem.

The video also shows number plates being switched on the car just before the fatal shooting.

Hassan Tasleem, 25, of Richmond Road, Dudley and Gurdeep Sandhu, 25, of Blower's Green Road, Dudley were both found guilty of murdering the father-of-four in unanimous verdicts, after a trial held at Leicester Court sitting at Loughborough.

Both were also found guilty of possessing a firearm with intent to endanger life and perverting the course of justice.

Sentencing them on Thursday, Mr Justice Bennathan handed them life prison sentences and told them they will have to serve a minimum term of 30 years.

Shamraz Ali, 21, of Tanfield Road, Dudley, was previously found guilty of perverting the course of justice and has now been sentenced to five years in jail.
