Four get life after honour killing attempt targets wrong house

FOUR men who murdered a couple in a bungled honour killing attempt were jailed for life yesterday.

The gang’s intended victim was a Muslim man who was having an affair with a married sister of the ringleader of the arson attack but they firebombed the wrong house.

Abdullah Mohammed, 41, and his wife, Aysha, 39, were overcome by smoke and fumes at their home in Blackburn, Lancashire, and later died in hospital.

Ringleader Hisamuddin Ibrahim, 21, who ordered the arson attack, was jailed for a minimum of 28 years at Preston Crown Court.

Habib Iqbal, 25, Sadek Miah, 23, and Mohammed Miah, 19, were jailed for minimum terms of 25, 21 and 19 years.
