Three Asian men (guess which part of "Asia") were today found guilty and jailed for life for the murder of Kriss Donald, the schoolboy who was BURNED ALIVE and killed in a brutal racially-aggravated attack. Imran Shahid, his brother Zeeshan Shahid, and Mohammed Faisal Mushtaq, had denied the charge but were convicted of the abduction, assault and murder of the 15-year-old at the High Court in Edinburgh. A jury of six men and nine women took eight hours to find Imran Shahid guilty by unanimous verdict and the other two guilty by majority verdicts. Imran Shahid, 29, was ordered to spend at least 25 years behind bars while his brother was given 23 years, and 27-year-old Mushtaq handed 22 years.
(I thought they said "jailed for life"? Kriss would probably have lived for a lot longer than just 25 years. Why aren't these assholes actually going to spend the rest of their natural lives in prison?)
During the trial, it emerged that all three had spent time in custody for previous offences. KrissÂ’s scarred and partially-clothed body was discovered on the Clyde Walkway in the East End of Glasgow, near Celtic FCÂ’s training ground, on March 16, 2004. The previous day, he had been abducted, stabbed repeatedly and set on fire while he was still alive.
