Two men have been jailed after being convicted of killing a teenager after ramming him off his bike in Peterborough.
Shwan Sabah, 24, and Ako Mohammad, 34, were found guilty of killing 19-year-old Ben Procter after he was seen breaking into a car compound on Wellington Street in Peterborough last September.
Sabah was ordered at least 20 years in prison before being considered for parole for his role in the attack.
Meanwhile, Mohammad will have to serve a minimum of 16 years in jail before he can be considered for parole. Should Mohammad be released after his 16th year in prison, he will be released on licence for another 12 years.
In the incident on September 15th, after breaking into the compound Sabah and Mohammad pursued Procter in a car, before ramming him and waited for him to die.
After knocking him down from his bike at 10:20pm in the Boongate area of the town, the men dragged an unconscious Procter into a hedge, and dumped him into the boot of the vehicle.
Sabah and Mohammad then drove to First Drove, in nearby Fengate, where they met two other men - Zamkar Mohammad-Majid, 47, and Hawkar Mohammadi, 40 - who tried to cover up the attack and destroy the evidence.
An hour and a half after the collision, the men drove back to the compound where Mohammad then called 999, after they believed that Ben had died.
Emergency services, including Cambridgeshire Police were called to the scene, where Ben was pronounced at 12:36am.
Following an eight-week trial at Cambridge Crown Court, a jury found Sabah guilty of murder, false imprisonment, and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.
As well as this, Mohammad was found guilty of manslaughter and false imprisonment, with Mohammad having already admitted perverting the course of justice.
Mohammad-Majid, and Mohammadi, both of Lincoln Road, New England, Peterborough, were both found guilty of false imprisonment and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice by unanimous verdict.
