UK: Muslims Guilty Of Kriss Donald's Murder

The jury at Edinburgh Crown Court has today returned its verdict on Zeeshan Shahid, 29, Imran Shahid, 29 and Mohammed Mushtaq, 27, for the brutal murder of Kriss Donald, a fifteen-year old schoolboy, states Sky News.

When Imran "Baldy" Shahid was attacked by a member of a white gang, who hit him with a bottle at a nightclub, the three men, along with 22-year old Daanish Zahid and Zahid Mohammed, went looking for revenge. Daanish Zahid had already been convicted of the murder, yet was too scared to give evidence in this trial.

On 15 March, 2004, the men had found two youths walking on Kenmure Street in Pollockshields, Glasgow. Kriss Donald, who had been walking down the street, was dragged into a stolen silver Mercedes, where he was beaten. The three men who were today convicted drove around, phoning people to find a place where they could "sort out" the innocent schoolboy.

Zahid Mohammed had already told the court that hat he had never seen Kriss before, and confirmed that if he had been Chinese, black or "Asian" he would have been left alone. He said that Kriss and his friend had been chosen because they were white. Zahid Mohammed had already been convicted of assaulting Kriss Donald, and he had agreed to provide evidence in exchange for a lighter sentence.

Kriss was driven to Motherwell in Dundee and then was taken to some open ground along the Clyde Walkway. There he was stabbed at least 13 times. He was then doused in petrol and set alight. The court heard evidence from a 43-year old forensic scientist, Ruth Ramage, who said that Kriss was probably alive when he was set on fire. His charred and virtually naked body was discovered by a cyclist.

When the verdict was announced today, Kriss' mother Angela shouted "You bastards". Afterwards, she thanked the police, and said: "Justice has been done. Thank you. It's over."

At no stage in the trial have the three defendants shown any remorse for what they had done.

The judge in the 27-day trial, Lord Uist, said Imran Shahid will serve a minimum of 25 years' jail before being considered for parole. Zeeshan "Crazy" Shahid, his brother, would serve 23 years before being eligible for parole, and Mushtaq would serve 22 years.

Lord Uist called the crime "diabolical" and said that Kriss' pain "during the period between being stabbed and set alight and his death is just beyond imagination."

Our previous report on the case can be found HERE. Later today, I will be compiling the trial data into a special report, as the case highlights some disturbing aspects of both the methods by which deals had to be made with a witness who was equally guilty of allowing Kriss to be killed, and how the local Muslim community had acted in response to this case.

When one witness spoke to the police, giving vital evidence, his Muslim employers sacked him.
