Aya Hachem fatally caught in Blackburn drive-by shooting linked to tyre shop feud
Murder conviction lands for ruthless gunman
Aya Hachem was tragically killed in a drive-by shooting in Blackburn in May 2020. Louis Junior Otway, 42, from Manchester, has been found guilty of her murder and the attempted murder of Pachah Khan.
Deadly feud between rival tyre businesses
The chilling attack stems from a bitter rivalry between two trades on King Street, Blackburn. Quickshine Tyres, once just a car wash, started selling tyres next door to RI Tyres in early 2019, stirring tensions.
Innocent victim caught in crossfire
Aya was an innocent passer-by and not the intended target. The bullets, fired from a passing car, were meant for rival Pachah Khan. Meanwhile, 37-year-old Suhayl Suleman, initially charged with murder, was cleared at trial.
