CPS Speaks Out on Senseless Killing
“This is a heart-breaking case where Raheem Hanif was murdered before his father’s eyes in a violent and senseless attack,” said Claire Wiggett of the Crown Prosecution Service. “The strength of the evidence, including witness statements, phone data, forensic evidence, and CCTV footage, led to a successful prosecution. These four men will now serve long prison sentences for what they did. “Arguments happen, but no dispute is worth the cost of a life. Our thoughts go out to Abdul Hanif and all Raheem’s loved ones who have suffered an immeasurable loss.”
