Four Men Disguised in Burkhas Jailed Over Double Murder as Man Survives Being Shot in Head

Four men who disguised themselves in burkhas before carrying out a five-minute revenge raid that resulted in the fatal stabbing and shooting of two rappers have been sentenced to life imprisonment for their murders.

Saydi Abu Sheikh, 23, and Zakariya Jeilani Mohamed, 31, were left dead or dying in a bedroom during the savage attack inside a residence in Ilford, east London, last October. Saydi had suffered 28 stab wounds and was shot four times, while Zakariya was stabbed five times and shot at least seven times. Survivor Khalid Khalid was shot six times, with one bullet entering the side of his face, passing through his head and exiting beside his mouth, causing damage to parts of the skull, his brain, and his teeth.
