Leicester House Fire: Pair Guilty Of Murder

Written By Unknown on Senin, 23 Juni 2014 | 22.11

Two men have been found guilty of murdering a mother and her three children in a bungled revenge attack in Leicester.

Shehnila Taufiq, 47, her 19-year-old daughter Zainab, and sons Bilal, 17, and Jamal, 15, all died when a fire engulfed their house in Wood Hill, Leicester, in the early hours of September 13 last year.

Kemo Porter, 19, and Tristan Richards, 22, were found guilty of their murders at Nottingham Crown Court.

Shaun Carter, 24, was found not guilty of four counts of murder but guilty of four counts of manslaughter.

Prosecutors had said the blaze was a "retribution process" for the fatal stabbing of Antoin Akpom, 20, hours earlier, but that the killers attacked the wrong house.

Dr Muhammad Taufiq Shehnila's husband and the children's father, Dr Muhammad Taufiq

Nathaniel Mullings, 19, Jackson Powell, 20, Aaron Webb, 20, Aaron Jeffers, 21 and a 17-year-old who cannot be named for legal reasons were cleared of murder but convicted of manslaughter.

As the verdict for the 17-year-old was read out there were tears from the public gallery and cries of "he's only a baby!".

During the two-month trial, the jury heard football coach Mr Akpom had been stabbed in the back in a confrontation involving two 19-year-olds on September 12.

Richard Latham QC, prosecuting, said the defendants were friends of Mr Akpom and they mistakenly targeted the Taufiqs' house, in the belief it was home to one of those involved in the confrontation.

The prosecutor said: "They simply got the wrong house - a tragedy."

The judge Mr Justice John Griffith Williams said he would hear mitigation tomorrow afternoon before sentencing on Wednesday morning.
