IS supporter convicted of Bangladeshi imam's murder in UK

September 17, 2016 03:04

A British ISIS supporter was today found guilty of killing a 71-year-old Bangladeshi-origin imam after he suspected him of "practising black magic".

Mohammed Hussain Syeedy, 21, was found guilty of murder after jurors at Manchester Crown Court were told he helped plan the attack on Jalal Uddin and also acted as the getaway driver for a co-accused, who has since fled the country.

Syeedy, a former Manchester United football match steward and electrical engineering student, now faces a life term in jail when Judge David Maddison will announce the sentence by next week.
