Chilling CCTV footage shows two teenage killers bumping fists as they celebrate stabbing a man to death in a brutal vigilante killing.
Two teens clash fists after stabbing man to death
Danish Mansha, Rimsha Tariq and Daiyaan Arif, all 18, searched the Internet for someone they believed wanted to have violent sex with women.
Their victim, Sohail Ali, 29, was lured to Summerfield Park in Birmingham on the promise of meeting a girl on December 4 last year.
She had been speaking to Tariq online before agreeing to meet the girl in the park at 2.30pm.
Mansha, who was armed with a knife and a blank pistol, waited with Arif before ambushing Mr Ali, who was stabbed seven times and shot once. He was attacked with such force that the knife broke and part of the blade was found embedded in his chest.
Ali was rushed to hospital for treatment, but died shortly after midnight.
CCTV shows Mansha and Arif fist-bumping as they calmly walk away from the crime scene, the two young men were arrested days later when detectives discovered messages on their phones discussing the attack.
The killers were in regular contact with each other days before the murder and Tariq messaged Ali on WhatsApp and Instagram just 30 minutes before the attack.
Following a trial at Coventry Crown Court, Mansha, from Edgbaston, and Tariq, from Walsall, were found guilty of murder.
Mansha, who was also found guilty of possession of a sharp article, was jailed for 19 years, while Tariq was ordered to serve at least nine years before being considered for parole.
A third defendant, Daiyan Arif, 18, of Brandhall, Warley, who was convicted of manslaughter, was jailed for three-and-a-half years.
