LONDON – A gang of white teenagers were jailed for almost 80 years today for the racist murder of an Asian taxi driver beaten to death in Huddersfield last year.
Mohammad Parvaiz, a 41-year-old father of three, was killed last July after he responded to what he believed to be a routine request for a taxi. He suffered 23 separate injuries in the attack.
Christopher Murphy was given a minimum jail term of 25 years while the judge at Leeds Crown Court handed down a minimum 21-year sentence to Michael Hand.
Graeme Slavin and Steven Utley were jailed for a minimum of 17 years.
Police said the main motivation for the attack was revenge for an incident that had occurred a few weeks earlier when Murphy’s scooter had been damaged after a confrontation with a group of Asian youths.
