A man from Scunthorpe has been jailed for life, with a minimum term of 21 years, for his role in the murder of a man who was stabbed to death last year.
Abdullah Balouchi was found seriously injured on Peel Street in Hull and later died in hospital.
He'd been stabbed after reportedly being chased by a group of men.
22 year old Peter Balog of no fixed address but formerly of Scunthorpe was sentenced for murder earlier at Hull Crown Court.
18 year old Abdirahman Aadan of Pendrill Street, Hull, will serve a minimum of 17 years for murder.
19 year old Khalid Aadan and 20 year old Mohammed Aaden, 20, both of Pendrill Street in Hull, have been sentenced to 10 years in a young offenders institute after being found guilty of manslaughter
On sentencing Detective Superintendent Robert Clark, of Humberside Police:
“Whilst these convictions and lengthy sentences will not bring back Abdullah, I hope they will provide the Balouchi family with some sense of closure as they continue to grieve for their loved one.”
“I just, again, want to thank them for their strength, courage and dignity during what has been a very painful and difficult time, one that no family should have to endure.”
“Abdullah’s murder was a senseless act bringing the most violent of crime onto the streets of Hull, effecting not only the Abdullah’s family and friends but also this close knit community. We continue to work closely in the area around Spring Bank to unite people and make sure that it is a safe place for everyone to live and work.”
Humberside Police says its investigation into the murder will continue, as there are still outstanding suspects.
