Racist killers to be extradicted

On 15th March last year Kriss was abducted by a gang of five Pakistanis in Kenmure Street in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow and bundled into the back of a stolen Mercedes. He was driven by the gang around central Scotland on a bizarre journey of 200 miles, who later returned to Glasgow and on the Clyde Walkway they subjected the boy to a savage attack, kicking and punching him, then stabbing him 13 times and eventually setting him on fire. He tried to put out the flames by rolling in mud but his partially clothed body was discovered on the morning after his abduction behind the Celtic Supporters' Club in the city’s east end. So badly mutilated was the body that the passer-by thought it was the carcass of a dead animal.
In December one of the men involved, Daanish Zahid, 20, was jailed for a minimum of 17 years for the murder. A second man, Zahid Mohammed, 20, admitted racially aggravated assault and abducting the teenager but the Crown accepted his not-guilty plea to murder. He was jailed for five years. In court the two accused said that Kriss was chosen at random because he was white, and because they wanted to exact revenge after one of them had been struck by a bottle thrown by a white teenager in a nightclub the previous day.
