Man jailed who helped suspected killer flee country

Friday, 7 April 2017 16:00

A man who paid for a suspected killer to flee the country has been jailed.

Mohammed Syadul Hussain, aged 25 and from Rochdale was sentenced at Manchester Crown Square yesterday (6 April 2017) to five years after being found guilty of assisting an offender.

On Thursday 18 February 2016, 72-year-old Jalal Uddin left a friend’s house on South Street, Wardleworth and began walking home when he cut through a play-area where it is believed that Mohammed Syeedy attacked Jalal with a hammer causing horrific head injuries.

On Saturday 20 February 2017 Syadul withdrew £700 from his bank and met with the suspected murderer in Rochdale before handing over the cash. The man would then use the money to fund his travel out of the country.

Detective Chief Inspector John Harris, of GMP’s Rochdale borough, said: “The actions of Mohammed Syadul Hussain have prevented a man suspected of murder from facing the criminal justice process… His family have had to endure the details of his death again and I can only imagine how difficult that must have been. I would like to continue to offer my sincere condolences to them and I hope that they will feel justice has been served today.”
