Man gets life after severed thumb fell from sky

A MAN arrested after his brother-in-law’s severed thumb fell from the sky has been jailed for 30 years for his murder.

Mahmood Ahmad’s left thumb was caught on CCTV falling, possibly from a bird’s beak, to the ground in Ilford, east London, where it was found by a security guard on March 10 last year.

Three days earlier, Ahmad, 41, a fast food worker, vanished from outside his home in Watford, Hertfordshire.
