Killer teen who stabbed man to death on night out in Bradford has sentenced increased


Sheryar Khan was handed a sentence of life imprisonment with a minimum term of 16 years for the murder of Kian Tordoff

The teenager who murdered Kian Tordoff in a bloodthirsty attack has had his sentence increased.

In July this year, Sheryar Khan was handed a sentence of life imprisonment with a minimum term of 16 years for Kian's murder.

 He was just 16 when he carried out the attack close to Village nightclub in Bradford city centre in October last year, following a disturbance. His brother, Arbaz Khan, 22, of Yew Tree Avenue, and his friend, Mohammed Adil Hussain, 18, of Kite Mews, Lower Grange, were also found guilty of Kian's manslaughter.

The younger Khan brother was also found guilty of wounding with intent in respect of a second victim, Matthew Page, 19. Hussain and Arbaz were found guilty of unlawful wounding in respect of Mr Page.

Three other men Aizaz Khan, 27, of Yew Tree Avenue, Amaad Shakiel, 20, of Leaventhorpe Lane, Bradford, and Adam Qayum, 23, of Avenel Road, Bradford, were all cleared of the murder, manslaughter and wounding charges.

The lengthy trial at Bradford Crown Court heard how 19-year-old Kian died after suffering multiple stab wounds during the large-scale disturbance in the early hours of October 10, 2021.

 Kian died from major blood loss after a deep stab wound in the back damaged his lung and severed his main artery.

 The teenager, who had earlier been out with friends at the Village nightclub, also had stab wounds to his neck, chest and hip and a pathologist also found evidence of defensive wounds to his hand and arm as he tried to stop the knife or knives hitting important parts of his body.

As he sentenced the Khan brothers and Hussain, His Honour Judge Richard Mansell KC described the knife attack as "mindless." 

He said all three got out of a car with weapons, and when Kian saw them, he ran. Kian then fell and was attacked as he lay on the floor.

 After being stabbed, he ran back to his friends and was fighting for his life. 

Judge Mansell said CCTV evidence showed the three showed no remorse.

Prior to the sentencing, the judge lifted an anonymity order prohibiting Sheryar Khan being named. 

On Wednesday, Khan's case was heard at the Court of Appeal following a referral to the Attorney General under the Unduly Lenient Scheme, which any member of the public can make if they feel a sentence is unduly lenient.

The court found Khan's original sentence to be unduly lenient and increased it by three years. He will now have to spend a minimum term of 19 years detention before he is considered for release, less the time spent on remand - 274 days.

Speaking after the hearing, HM Attorney General Rt Hon Michael Ellis KC MP said: “Today my thoughts are with the family of Kian Tordoff, who tragically lost his life during Sheryar Khan’s senseless and brutal attack, and also with Michael Page, who was badly injured in the attack and has been left absolutely devastated by the loss of his best friend.

“I welcome the decision of the Court of Appeal to increase the sentence which better reflects the severity of Khan’s atrocious crimes.”

THE MOST BRUTAL EXECUTION METHODS REPORTEDLY USED BY MEXICAN CARTELS.

The Most Brutal Execution Methods Reportedly Used By Mexican Cartels The Mexican Drug War - a sustained, violent conflict between powerful drug cartels and the Mexican government - has claimed an estimated 164,000 lives over the past decade.  This rampant bloodshed has torn apart cities and communities across Mexico, often taking the lives of the innocent along with those directly involved.  The Mexican cartels (The Sinaloa, Los Zetas, The Gulf Cartel, and the Knights Templar, most notably) and their known drug associates continue to escalate gratuitous acts of retaliation and often record the executions.  In 2017, the Mexican government extradited Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, a known member of the Sinaloa cartel, to the US. Guzmán faces charges of murder and laundering funds.  New York prosecutors have evidence against the alleged cartel leader, including YouTube videos in which Guzmán systematically harmed and then removed the heads of rival gang members.  In a ...

Saudi Arabia execution: Horror video shows 'innocent' woman being BEHEADED for 'killing six-year-old' Man who filmed Layla bint Abdul Mutaleb Bassim's execution and put it on the internet is arrested following outrage after fears her family could watch A woman screamed her innocence right up until the last seconds before an executioner’s sword fell, beheading her for killing her husband’s six-year-old daughter. But the sword-weilding executioner had to take two swings to hack-off Layla bint Abdul Mutaleb Bassim’s head in graphic footage later uploaded onto the Internet. There were howls of protest over the woman’s execution in Saudi Arabia’s holy city of Mecca after she was found guilty of beating the girl and raping her with a broomstick. But the outrage, mainly from men, wasn’t about her sentence of death, but because it was filmed and uploaded onto the web, where her family might see it. Now the country’s religious police have arrested the person who filmed the e...
