Brothers Jailed for Brutal Murder of Leeds Man
Amaan Ansar, 20, and his brother Sahil Ansar, 19, have been locked up for life after the savage murder of 33-year-old Khalfan Seif. The chilling attack happened at their home on Springdale Avenue in Leeds.
Knife Rampage Ends in Tragedy
On the night of January 14, the trio knocked on Mr Seif’s kitchen door before bursting in. Armed with a large knife, they threatened him and demanded valuables. One of the men also menaced Mr Seif’s wife in the sitting room, snatching her phone. Terrified, she fled outside to get help — only to see her husband staggering in the street with a fatal stab wound to the stomach.
Despite emergency surgery, Mr Seif died the next evening. Police launched a swift investigation leading to the arrest of the three suspects within days.
Harsh Sentences for Killers
- Amaan Ansar was sentenced to life with a minimum of 26 years behind bars. He was also found guilty of robbing Mr Seif’s wife in a separate crime.
- Sahil Ansar received a life sentence with a minimum of 25 years.
- Wahaab Saif, 19, from Crosland Moor, got 14 years for manslaughter, with a minimum of 9 years and 2 months before release on licence.
The Ansar brothers’ sentences also reflect unrelated crimes they were convicted of during the same hearing.
The brutal killing has sent shockwaves through the Leeds community as justice finally catches up with the killers.
