Man jailed after murdering teenager and leaving body in car
A man has been jailed after killing a 19-year-old and leaving his body in a car in West Yorkshire
A man has been jailed for life after murdering a teenager and leaving his body in a car on a remote moor in West Yorkshire.
Najeebullah Nekzad was found strangled in the vehicle on Scammonden Moor near Huddersfield in August 2019.
30-year-old Gol Zazai, from Greater Manchester, has been sentenced to a minimum of 20 years in prison, although police say they know he didn't act alone.
Pat Twiggs of West Yorkshire Police, who was the senior investigating officer in the case, said: “We welcome the sentencing of Zazai for his part in a truly callous offence in which Najeebullah was murdered and left abandoned in a remote part of Kirklees.
“The substantial sentence he has been given reflects the gravity of this crime, the motive for which, Zazai has never disclosed.”
He added: “We know Zazai didn’t act alone in committing this offence and the investigation into his killing remains open."
