Eleven people have been convicted after Abdul Wahab Hafidah was murdered in Moss Side.

On Thursday 12 May 2016 Abdul Wahab Hafidah, 18, was murdered in Moss Side.

At about 5.15pm that day Wright, Ford, George, Walters, Wilson, Goodall, Neish, Cantrill, Samuels and a 14-year-old boy, chased Abdul from Princess Parkway and onto Moss Lane East, where they attacked him, one with a hammer.

After a considerable chase where Abdul was clearly exhausted, he was finally incapacitated after Williams drove his Vauxhall Corsa at him, knocking him to the ground.

Once on the floor, Abdul was viciously attacked by the group with punches, kicks and stamps.

The group then ran away in the direction of Quinney Crescent where the Corsa was waiting.

Witnesses called an ambulance for Abdul, but he sadly died in hospital two days later.

A Home Office post mortem concluded that he died from two stab wounds to the neck. He also had injuries to his head.

Seven men were convicted of murder and four others, including the 14-year-old, were convicted of manslaughter.
